Re: Reminds me of AutoCAD

Ah yes, AV software, there's a whole other barrel of laughs awaiting a discussion. When you're pushing a product which its users need to have implicit trust in, then making it deliberately give wrong answers is foolish, because as we know all too well, users tend to have a limited tolerance for having to carefully read alert prompts before they just become conditioned into clicking "Continue", "Accept" etc., so if they get that conditioning through running stuff they *know* is good, then the chances of them letting something genuinely dodgy through goes up...
