Hmm yes, this is exactly the same sort of situation:

> WSDOT announced on December 21 that it would not resume Amtrak service on the Point Defiance Bypass until positive train control is implemented in 2018.

"But America has also had train crashes" is a typical response in this sort of situation, but also typically irrelevant.

As a software engineer, I knew the bug in every software is inevitable. What we should do is learning from each bug and try to find a solution to avoid repeat the mistake, either by some engineering process, or more tests. And blindly blame the engineer who wrote the codes is stupid.
