True.. errors do happen (ever had an electronic problem with your car, ever had a GPS tell you that you were at sea level,or close to it, when you were in the mountains, how accurate is your electronic speedo???? remember, these devices AREN't being designed for the aviation industry, where double and triple safety devices are in place) and I didn't take that into account. But I do agree that your scenario is just a smidge far fetched. Not that something like that couldn't happen, sure it could. Unlikely, but not inconceivable.
But back to the topic......yes... errors in the black box could (would?) be rampant and the effects of THOSE errors are potentially enormous. You name just one example but there are innumerable others. And you're example of the credit reporting is to the point. Let alone trying to prove that, yes I was speeding, but the accident was unavoidable, disregarding the speed, because driver X ran the stop sign, driver X crossed the double yellow, driver X ????????????.
Not to be a Chicken Little but, big brother is getting verrrrrrryyyyyy close, or appears to be anyway. (George is shaking his head, saying, "see, you thought this was fiction!)
