not really. garbage tends to lead to enviroments prone to disease... and nothing is better than disease... *facepalms at the second way that could be read, but figure's it's a good filter for the smart vs the stupid*
unless, apparantly, you control a corporation with enough lobbiests and cash to persuade enough equally stupid politicians that you're right and it should be...
...
see, around here you'd get teh high profile case, the guy would get arrested, blah blah blah, then the agency dumb enough to Do that would get raked over the coals for the collosal waste of money it represents (not necessaraly overturning the results of the trial)
well, depending on who was in government at the time and who's idea it was, anyway.

pretty sure he was refering to your 'capitalisation for emphasis' bit.
... to be fair i tend to confuse everyone by using initial caps for that and forgetting to capitalise sentences, but i get called on that less often than the whole 'whole word in caps' thing manages... (of course, the people who complain about it at all tend to be more bitchy... or sometimes just genuinly confused, as opposed to pointing out that it's not really considered good etiquette. )
except the real problem was that this was even Possible.
which i doubt they fixed, given that they didn't fix it the last time it came up (spore had similar issues. if you got forum banned your copy of the game became no more, possibly less, functional than pirate versions, at at best.)
which doesn't stop the law from having a concept of 'criminal negligence' which is basically, so far as i (not being a lawyer) can tell 'stupidity with sufficiant consiquences as to be indistinguishable from malice'
nevermind that the very fact that they are capable of doing this accidently means the capability IS built into the system, which should be lawsuit worthy in its own right.

succeed to a limited extent but get trolled by lame trolls (who are lame)
repeat until those who disagree and have power die off and are replaced by those who agree. hope the situation isn't irreparably broken by then.
