you're a lawyer.

you run gcc without arguments.

it says:

"gcc: fatal error: no input files"

puzzled, you consult the dictionary.

fatal: causing death. leading to failure or disaster.

error: a mistake. the state or condition of being wrong in conduct or judgement.

is starting gcc without arguments equivalent to making a mistake, a wrong action that leads to deadly failure or disaster? did you just kill someone? did you commit a felony? now you are panicking. you turn off the pc.

@0xabad1dea @lritter @catsalad one of my earliest computers memories was playing a game on my Dad’s work issued Mac Classic when an error happened and it popped a dialog with a bomb icon on it. I was convinced I’d done something terrible and his very expensive computer was about to blow up.
