Well, not entirely. If software sellers were held liable, they'd have to
start carrying liability insurance and that would cost something. Even with
Ada technology, you're not guaranteed bug-free software, so there would
still be liability cases. Depending on the lawyers and courts and juries,
even the best engineered software could still be a source of liability.
(Witness doctors being sued for malpractice even if they are doing
everything by the numbers.)
Still, it would be interesting to see what exactly you said to him.
