A concept that took hold in the ’70s haunted everything from seat belts to masks
its very true. I worked in a research lab in health and it was unbearable being around those people.<p>&#x27;we can&#x27;t do that, people will use it wrongly&#x27; &#x27;we cant tell the people that, they might use the information wrongly.&#x27; on and on again.<p>Just one of many examples was a trauma center application that showed all the trauma centers in the US on a map. you could see the coverages for ambulance and helicopter. I put in a feature where one could see the distance to the closest trauma center, as well as get directions. I was asked to remove it because people might use the information incorrectly.<p>to me, the problem is much more broad than this article suggests. its not just one phenomenon. lying and hiding information is built into their way of thinking.
