Except software does control airplanes and elevators..

Subscribing to this kind of "digital bad" dogma is lazy because you don't have to think for yourself.

Software does control airplanes and elevators. When it fails, it can kill people.

But when people think elevator software is broken, they don't take the elevator. When (enough) people think voting software is broken, they topple governments and start civil wars.

And some people who disagree with you are still thinking for themselves. That "not thinking for yourself" is lazy argument.
