How is this apples-apples at all?

But to answer directly... yes? yes, I am.

[edit]

A bit it more real. My blood pressure monitor says my bp is 200/160. Chat says you're dead get yourself to a hospital.

Get to the hospital and says oh your bp monitor is wrong.

I'm happy? I would say that I am. Sure I'm annoyed at my machine, but way happier it's wrong than right.

This is another example of why its frustrating still.

"Yes I'm happy I'm not dying" ignores that "go to the hospital [and waste a day, maybe some financial cost]" because a machine was wrong. This is still pretty inconvenient because a machine wasn't accurate/calibrated/engineered weak. Not dying is good, but the emotions and fear for a period of time is still bad.
