How convenient it has become these days to blame it on the computers.

What a smorgasbord of probable deniability and playground for malfeasance!

How many times will the body politic be fooled by wolf-cries of "oopsie"?

A la Red Riding Hood:

"My, what a scary looking internet-of-things you've got there"

"All the better to overrule you with, my dear."
