The reason why they're not permissible in court doesn't have anything to do with ways of circumventing them. It's that they do not work as advertised in the first place.

Kind of. It can do the job well enough that using specialized audio processing hardware is a thing for applications that have additional requirements besides "needs X GFlops for audio stuff", for example where power is a big issue (e.g. hearing aids) or where ultra-low latencies are required.
See ME-262 as another prominent example.
And its all because of that damned stealth which cripples the HELL out of the aircraft! The ONLY advantage it gives you is on sneaking up, that's it, and in return for the sneaking up?
And worse yet, all them terr'ists that are the new enemy nowadays don't even have any radar you could sneak up on.

Well, but it should be common knowledge that machines besides cars might have seat belts. Maybe they were looking for a candidate who asks for clarification - so that he can avoid misunderstanding with customers or colleagues. On the other hand, an hour-long discussion about seatbelts that concludes with "Oh, I meant on airplanes, not on cars!" would certainly be hilarious.
"I didn't mention cars." (Candidate makes obvious, but possibly unwarranted assumptions.)
It's what happens when you have insufficient measures for product quality in place. As far as I'm aware, some of the newer regulations were partially due to these incidents.
Working without these measures will increase the frequency of such incidents again.
I'm sure if those "entrenched interests" weren't familiar with multi-million dollar lawsuits, they'd use cheap 3D printers to build prosthetics, too.
Oh, and might I interest you in a used Therac-25?
