They must learn

That might be OK in the UK but in NZ we have a government department
that will prosecute someone making a device that they consider
dangerous.

Sounds like a good idea. We are supposed to have something similar in
Europe but it apparently relies much too heavily on self-monitoring
and -certification.

The inspectors that I've seen are women.

In what way is that relevant, or noteworthy?

The two I saw had no mechanical sense whatsoever.


There are plenty of men like that too. Gender is not a reliable
indicator of whether someone possesses any particular type of sense.

But I suppose someone being from NZ is a slightly more reliable
indicator of gratuitous misogyny. ;-)
