Police cars are also sometimes allowed to ignore red lights, use one-way streets in the wrong direction and ignore speed limits, in case of emergency. That, however, does not mean that we should teach every person to ignore red lights responsibly.
While I believe that your argument is valid in some other, not traffic-related cases (e.g. I believe that teaching young people how to drink responsibly is better than deterring them from drinking, but that is a different thing), I believe it is not valid in this case. When driving, have one hand at the steering wheel and occasionally one at the gearshift. That's it.

Submission + - Cloud Computing Doesn't Exist (ulitzer.com)

jg21 writes: The former founder and CEO of Powersoft, venture capitalist Mitchell Kertzman, claims today that Cloud Computing doesn't exist. His opinion was sought along with that of other software executives still employed full-time in the trenches of Enterprise IT. From his 35,000-foot perch as Managing Director of Hummer Winblad Venture Partners, Kertzman acknowledges that his view is "contrarian." [From the article: "There really is no specific 'cloud computing' sector. I think that the lines between SaaS, PaaS, etc., virtualization and cloud computing are fuzzy and indistinct. To some extent, cloud is an overlay on virtualization, allowing dynamic elasticity for provisioning and deprovisioning, but that doesn't make it a separate sector."]
