And they all know that codes all over the world are different, and that a 
lot of wiring is done by people who haven't a clue how it should be done 
properly.

As such, they also know that they should always check all wiring, just to 
make sure that some idiot didn't actually use the green wire as the hot wire 
for this particular device.

In many places, the pedestrians have the right of way.  And in certain 
foreign countries, it's called priorité a droit, and it means that the 
person coming *from* the right has the right of way, and they won't even 
bother looking to their left.

And then there are the people that drive on the other side of the road.


So, maybe driving isn't quite the right model, since that's localized 
somewhat, and yet system administration is a more globalized type of task.
