Sorry to correct you, but I think you mean "It is correct that 'The Therac-25 killed three people' ".
And this is the point - when people start using broad terms like "intent" and "correct" without ensuring that all corespondents are using them in the same sense, you can hardly expect a useful conversation to result.
(wouldn't it be great if people would think about what they write, instead of just writing about what they think).
