Yes, I'm offended by this... the Mr. Barker didn't made his homework and missed other importants errors. I'm sure the author can compile a "Top 10 IT Disaters that Killed People" list. Maybe he is more concerned about money and not about people.
Around here the Therac problems are used as a case study to teach what not to do when building a complex system. It didn't kill hundreds of persons, but those who died by the Therac had an horrible death... and just becase some stupid engineers didn't know how to design software.
That's just an example, let's see if the author can make it better.
