If he gave a *wrong* answer based on his own expertise in the name of the 
company, I can see that.

Someone calls up, says they deleted a file by mistakae, helpdesk says "run 
this undelete program" and it screws their entire filesystem, perhaps.

In the USA (for reasons I won't get into here) there's what's called "strict 
liability" for products. If something happens that your product caused, 
you're responsible for it. If the toaster burns down your house, it's the 
fault of the toaster maufacturer.  So I can see this being more of a problem 
here than in countries where common sense works.

   Forget "focus follows mouse." When do
   I get "focus follows gaze"?
