I haven't gotten a chance to read the entire paper however the reference to the Therac-25 in the beginning was slightly tilted. Yes - it was a programmatic error that dispersed a deadly amount of radiation. But, if I remember correctly, the Therac-25 is often used in Software/Computer Engineering ethics classes as an instance in which a hardware safety mechanism would be appropriate. So while the article is right that a software malfunction did disperse a deadly amount of radiation, the fix for this isn't necessarily a software solution
