If a manufacturer could easily design the circular saw to be safe (á la SawStop) with little added cost, but decided not to, I think most people would consider them grossly negligent.

Huh.

I didn't know about SawStop before, so your comment sent me on a wiki-hunt.

"Gross negligence" seems like a huge understatement for all the rationalizing and lobbying manufacturers did to avoid having to use safety technology.
