We have a strong health and safety regime and culture. Most primary industries are heavily automated. Yet it only takes a simple mistake to cause injury.

You don't have to @ their name here on HN, it doesn't work like Twitter. When you reply to them they'll see it already.

Only if they go back through their threads.
