This will be my last post on this thread.
Early in my Academic career I worked for the IT Department in the Canadian Government, I worked on the software and hardware for all parts on the government from elected officials and justice/court buildings, to law enforcement and first responders, to health services and public works. Over 90% of the reports we receive of not working hardware of software, when we would fix and it would turn out that the issue was caused by the user. You know what nobody ever did? They never said, I broke the computer or I don't know how to operate this system/access the server. You know what people said? The system is broken, your software isn't working etc. It just amazed me, how many people would break something, I mean we would see the weirdest errors possible that defy all logic and the individual would never know how it happened. Then there were some specific cases that would call weekly with broken hardware and issues, this hardware lasted majority of people year(s), yet these select individuals would have it broken in a week. It got to the point we would test everything we gave them, it would be flawless yet they would somehow still break it and they would not know how. Every time these individuals would always blame the hardware for breaking.
So, when I see somebody who has something that breaks on them constantly, more than others whether it be knives or technology, I look at the factors involved, these items were made in different batches, inspected and tested by different people, during different times etc, but you know what the only constant factor is? The person who constantly complaining on how everything is broken. The only logical and constant issue in the equation is the person complaining, so when I see a person who is constantly complaining about all these knives failing, I reflect on the possibilities and probabilities. Eventually I have to come to the conclusion since it is the only logical answer, whether it is on purpose or through negligence the individual complaining is the explanatory variable. People don't know what they don't know, however humans in general have hard time not understanding something, so they quantify it incorrectly by blaming it on someone or something else. I can say I only have a basic understanding of physics, and a relatively extensive background in mathematics, and I can tell from this thread, most are missing the basic fundamentals of these subjects. How are you going to be outrage about something you know nothing about? Locks are all about physics and geometry, plus a little bit of chemistry(how materials react) and I don't see that logic or understanding in many of these arguments.
