I once knew someone who was disabled for life because a medical
professional missed a decimal point and gave him an order of
magnitude higher dose of a drug than he should have had. The medical
professional's career was ruined. The insurance company was out more
than a million dollars. The patient's life was radically transformed
for the worse. (02)
All due to an error in logic. (03)
This had *very much* to do with reality It had very real
significance, and very real meaning. (04)
