Why do you call your UI friendly when it blew a tree down on my Dad? Why did your friendly UI invent evil/death/ disease? What's the use of a UI to me if it isn't friendly? Whose version of the UI is correct: Rabbi Cohen's, Father Ignatius's, Imam Ahmed's? Why does Professor Dawkins say your UI is a delusion?
