My point is that a random person with access to any highly specialized tool will not output usable results. If I try to use a compiler and mess up, nothing bad happens.
If I go get myself an EKG and mess up the reading, well.. death is somewhere in the list of possibilities.
(To be fair, I fall into the group of people who believe in very strong government regulation to protect people from themselves, because the world is too complicated to make well-informed decisions. Easy example is seatbelts - if Ford could sells cars for $1500 cheaper if they didn't have seatbelts then some people would buy them and they'd die. Not everyone will do the proper research, so everyone needs protecting.)
