    “While computers are mechanical, the processes must be dictated and implemented by a human. Therefore, the only person culpable when a computer does something, is the human who wrote the instruction set, code, or algorithm.”

    If we interpreted the problem with human culpability and consequences, a whole lot of bugs would stop disappearing from software right quick.
