Computers are not designed, made, or sold with the inherent capacity to deliver a blow lethal to humans, and the intent that they be used for such. If and when they are, and if they are still made and sold for profit, we will hold them accountable for the deaths they cause. Until then, your analogy is extremely silly, but I will try very hard not to laugh at it. Thank you, and goodbye--have a terrific day.
