Blaming individuals when systems fail: does it work reliably?
And how can certification work across borders between jurisdictions?
I've seen a fair share of engineering disasters in my own developed country where a few signatures by engineers didn't prevent the causes.
Regulations and jail doesn't seem to be enough of a disincentive? How do you force someone to do a good job?
Open source is not very compatible with certification.
Certification either (1) makes all software proprietary or (2) requires people to sign that particular open source software is safe or (3) maybe we should disallow the liability evasion clauses of open source software licenses?
