I don't understand the part I "snipped."  Isn't that what 
immunity/susceptibility testing is all about?  We already do that.  The part
I had a problem with was the statement that industry standards are not
enough, we must try to anticipate all problems that might ever arise, in
effect forcing the manufacturer to have god-like omniscience, and when he
predictably fails, punishing him for not living up to our preconceived
notions of how smart he should have been.
