If this source is not morality what else could it possibly be? If it is morality than would capital punishment not undermine the very source of its power? By killing, the government becomes as amoral as the murderer and thus loses its right to power of punishment. In short how can such an amoral monster as government which murders(punisment and war), lies, and uses humans as tools, be the ultimate distributor of moral justice?
Did you or I sign a social contract? Did you or I truly give consent? The social contract is something you were told about in school. Not something one signed, not something one truly thinks. Government and ethics were never meant to be seperate.
To the question of “which morals should be enforced?” and punishment equaling the crime: There are a number of moral philosophies out there that when looked at by any person few truely major faults can be found(Nicomachean ethics, Kant’s ethics, etc.) Crishtianity has many flaws and for some reason someone always brings it up anytime I mention the word morals. And on punishment does the government steal from the thief or rape the raper? Do they beat the assaulter or slander the slanderer? Incarceration is equal punishment for every crime except murder? Does that really make sense that we couldn’t as easily punish murder with incarceration as we do with stealing?

So is it an oxymoron to say that Collins computerization ran into integration problems ?

will say this about defense workers around the world (I’ve worked with US, British, Canadian, Belgian, German, and Israeli), they tend to be pretty patriotic and pretty self-conscious. I don’t think that it is likely that someone would doctor a subsystem.

Also, as I recall, the faults associated with the Collins class subs were not a specific catastrophic failure, but a series of cost and schedule overruns, problems with quality due to inexperience building submarines, and the rate of change of computerized equipment making the original equipment obsolete.

As the McIntosh-Prescott report found, “the underlying cause is a myriad of design deficiencies and consequential operational limitations relating to the platform and combat system.”

So no, I don’t think these boats were messed up on purpose. No, I don’t think a rogue employee or manager trashed the system. I think it was due to lack of experience: experience managing, experience manufacturing, and experience developing long lasting military projects.

A sensor system S, born integrated with some sort of effector system E2.

An effector system E , born integrated with some sort of sensor system S2.

And you want systems S and E integrated.

So you can aim for interoperability of (S and E2) and (E and S2).

My Dear Shariputra,

I like the way you put it: ‘oxymoron’.
I agree that it is an oxymoron to say that Collins computerization ran into integration problems, since they did not use subsystems power tools properly.
They did not or else, it would have facilitated integration, or be ‘born integrated.’
I like your questions, Shariputra.

It would have to otherwise it wouldn’t be able to integrate in the first place

So is it an oxymoron to say that Collins computerization ran into integration problems ?

a. Knowledge of polishing tools and weapons
b. Discovery of agriculture
c. Beginning of the construction of huts
d. Discovery of rotary motion

resemble the acrobats in the Olympic opening ceremony ? (I saw a video of rehearsal so I assume it went ahead).

There’d be no scope in the project for people (unnecessarily) amending contracts.

There’d be no scope in the project for people tearing down legacy simulators. (A simulator cannot think, it cannot detect whether it is connected to legacy software or Collins software. A legacy simulator would be an ideal tool to help in testing Collins system. So why would it be torn down ?)
