"Inteligent" you say? ;)

It's all about averages, and this would be a fine example of Darwinism.

Real-time too.  No delay.

Sometimes older technology is just better.

only an idiot does not make sure the weapon is not loaded first but as Forest Gumps mum loves to say "Stupid is as Stupid does" 

Personally I think all warning labels should be removed and just let nature sort itself out
