    One of my favorite examples of the difficulty in idiot-proofing things comes from a national park ranger talking about the difficulty of designing a bear-proof garbage can. He said “There is considerable overlap between the smartest bears and the dumbest humans.”

      Lmao, yeah… You can make a can so secured a bear definitely won’t get in; but will people go to the effort to use it then?

      Definitely some overlap there.
