Re: Safety-critical updates?

It sounds like a nice idea at first (if you're a Ferengi) but stuff like this would permanently crater the insurance business. Insurance companies can't be TOTALLY untrustworthy. They can only be somewhat untrustworthy. Otherwise the entire business model falls apart.

This sounds a bit like the industry trying to slit it's own throats.

These places quite literally have posters to the effect of "take it but not give it back", but you can't really run the business that way. The product becomes worthless.
