Earlier this morning, I came across the following headline on Google News: “Fewer crashes when docs report bad drivers, study finds“.
The headline almost made sense. Yes, bad drivers cause crashes, indeed the main reason why modern operating systems crash these days is bad third-party drivers. So being able to identify and report a bad driver kind of makes sense, but how would you do that? And what does it have to do with your docs? Did the author mean perhaps that a document, say, an HTML page, could display a warning about a bad driver instead of invoking the driver (e.g., to display video) and risk crashing the browser or the computer?
Then, about three tenths of a second later, I realized that the headline was about road accidents and medical doctors.
