    That’s not even remotely the point I was trying to make.

    Medical software should not be treated the same as any old random proprietary code.

    Right now we just have to trust that “the car has airbags” because no-one is allowed to open it up and check.

    That shouldn’t need to be the person themselves, but that’s the bare minimum of what a sane situation should allow.
