    If you’re implementing it, it’s your responsibility, end of story.

      if you don’t implement it, it will get implemented by someone else anyway and you’re putting your job at risk

        That’s called accountability and that’s why engineers get paid extra. Ethic classes are not the part of engineering degrees in the USA very obviously, I shouldn’t be surprised

          How can you talk about personal responsibility while blaming engineers for the fact that this guy intentionally closed his finger in a car door?

              I did read it and I’m also reading it in the context of the article and the rabid group-think here claiming that a potential injury after closing your hand in a door four times in a row is somehow the companies fault or the fault of the engineering department.

                If you think disabling or weakening safety features after multiple attempts is OK, there is nothing left to discuss with you on this topic.

                  If you have to rely on the appeal to emotion fallacy to do the heavy lifting for your argument, I suppose you’re correct that there’s nothing left to discuss.

                  Personally, I learned long ago not to close my hand in a door after the first attempt. I suppose there’s a reason why some people need safety warnings not to use their toaster in the bathtub, and we should all live by those standards.
