No fault? None at all? That seems... counter-intuitive.

I get it that the technology failed spectacularly, and that this is a serious problem for which people need to be held to account, but my car is working just fine.

Unintended consequences are the most common consequences. Once you take that into account, the world makes a lot more sense. I totally get what you're talking about, though. I felt the same way when I first read "Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom", and thought "whuffie" could be a really interesting idea if actually implemented. Eventually, I really I realized it's just as bad as stuff like Polymarket is turning out to be. Pure democracy has a way of always spiraling out of control.

In far less than 10,000 yes, we will be able to throw any bitstream in the computer, define as many parameters as we might happen to know (e.g., "This is a document file created with XYZ software"), or perhaps none at all, and have the computer grok out the meaningful data stored therein. CDs can be read with electron microscopes if need be. There will always be a way to recover data; it just might not be cheap and easy.
