This was a case study in my Computer Science Ethics class because the company paid off the earliest families to keep them quiet. What struck me was they took an industrial machine and put the hardware safeties in place instead of fundamentally limiting the power. They didn't want two machines. They wanted one machine that had two modes. So many families destroyed because they didn't want to manufacture an appropriate device.

Test-driven design starts with error handling of five right. Tedious but that's the cost of being thorough.

@IncineroarBestPokemon in isolation is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. The lethal doses should have had a physical restraint when shipping out "xray machines". Edit: For example, maybe they could have limited the power, so even in high power mode, it wouldn't produce so much. The company was too lazy (read:cheap) to either create separate machines or to modify existing ones so no harm could come to the patient accidentally. The 80s were wild.
