That would make sense but it may be at the cost of other functionality - I'm
too tired to check. But making it the default - dumb stuff.
I was listening to a story about the Japanese tsunami on the radio an hour or
so ago.
It appears that the designers of one of those nuclear (nooculer if you're
murkin :-)) power plants built a big concrete sea wall to protect the plant.
The tsunami simply swept over the wall and drowned the plant generators which
had been cleverly positioned just below the wall. This shut down power to the
cooling system and made it impossible to Scram the reactors.
It sounds really dumb now but I'll bet it didn't at the time they built it. As
Nick Taleb said in 'The Black Swan', we are hopeless at risk management because
we can only anticipate risks that fall within our experience. Genuine
catastrophes are simply not conceivable for us and we are never ready for them.
Y'know, er, like it's really dumb to built reactors on a coast in an earthquake
zone but we'll continue to do it because we think that we're smart enough to
anticipate all the possible problems - and we're not.
