But I don't think that argument should be used to naysay a safety feature. If a power tool can be made more benign when simple diligence is trumped by accidental circumstance, I consider it a good thing.

The point of inventions like this is to make systems more fail-safe. That means they're more safe when existing practices fail -- which they obviously do.
