## What Jamie wrote

Words matter. Using "crash" to highlight the need for a solution, versus an unsolvable accident, is interesting. As an aside, I correct tech people when they say a computer "crashed". Crashed is a non-technical word, that implies unknowns. Computers have specific failures, not generic crashes.
