The irony is that we can do that precisely because those things have FAR lower error rates. If your coffee maker exploded several times a week you'd fucking notice.
Just another way digital tech gets a pass we'd never afford anything else.

@jwcph Could also be because lots of people still expect they'll get things wrong themselves way more often. For instance, I am constantly amazed whenever I get anything right the first try.
