    That’s a very edge case scenario to bring to the table as a counterargument… Like my buddy who was sceptical about reverse cameras in cars because “and what if it breaks?”. Well, then we just use the rear view mirror like we always did. Nobody is arguing for abolishing them, just as nobody is arguing for completely abolishing cars.

      “Forgot something” probably isn’t the edge case scenario you think it is, it’s just a matter of convenience vs necessity to fix it. If I forgot my lunch I’m not going to ride the train into the city then back then back again, but if I forgot the only copy of the keys to the work van well then I have to.

      Sure, have contingencies in place, but the real world does not often go as expected.
