My serious view is, that there are some jobs where care really matters, e.g. surgery, driving aeroplanes and programming. Such a maxstatement feature will not free us from the task to be careful. There actually should be extreme few possibilities for the user to put a program into an endless loop. In this few cases I think it is OK to kill the program by using the task manager.
