Then you are burning a bridge. You are, _arbitrarily_, deciding that
humans shall no longer need to understand the source -- and you are
designing a system which will make it somewhat impossible for humans to
do just that.

Here we diverge. Someday the dentist's drill will be controlled by a
robotic arm and video acquisition, but *I* want a dentist watching and
in charge while the work is done. You seem to be comfortable with the
cruise missile approach.
