It says something of our profession that we have all of our products come with a legal document that effectively says it's not our fault if the product doesn't do what it's supposed to do.

We should just outlaw those damn statements (and binding arbitration for consumers) and see how the market naturally evolves. Don't force standards on programmers, don't regulate in some novel way, just get rid of the stupid disclaimers and let the old-fashioned legal framework return to primacy.
