    Everybody who has a bit of an idea what an autopilot in a plane actually does is not mislead. Do people really think that commercial airline pilots just hit the “autopilot” button in their cockpit after disengaging the boarding ramp and then lean back until the boarding ramp at the destination is attached?

      Why do you think companies need to warn about stuff like “Caution, Contents are hot” on paper coffee shops? People are stupid.

        Those labels are there because people made a quick buck suing the companies when they messed up, not to protect the stupid customers.

        If the courts would apply a reasonable level of common sense, they wouldn’t exist.
