I don't know. I was suggesting it wasn't realistic to do that, and therefore it wasn't realistic to implement a UI that prevents you making mistakes.
So, this means a) strong superhuman AI (good luck), b) deciding from an ambiguous input to one of possibly mistaken actions (good luck mapping all possible correct states), or c) drool-proof interface ("It looks you're trying to shut down S3, would you like some help with that?").
TL;DR: yes, but it's a cure worse than the disease.
