Indeed the social is at stake. Unlike antic computers, we must not take input 
as is, but interpret in it's range.
Some person said he wants to hurt?

If these words are all we know, than it might be done.
However, can some words pronounced in seconds --even if repeated-- outweigh a 
dedication of years?

If Jambunathan would be that selfish person as depicted, he'd rather worked in 
some usury-business than writing Emacs Lisp code.

The mistake is elsewhere
