Is there, literally, anything you're not wrong about?

Well to be fair SOME onboard computers may lose SOME of their
*configurations*


Examples a car radio anti-theft kicking in and needing the code to be

*some* immobilisers kicking in, and the car won't start

*some* other systems losing their marbles. ISTR that sometimes window
warning lights come on until various resets establish where 'window
closed' is..
