In the comments thread under the youtube video, there was a lot of projection about how big brother was going to destroy woodworking by mandating sawstops on all table saws. As to my feelings on this, see my comments under donorcycles.
I probably would have been outraged over the possibility that all table saws could possibly be $1k more expensive, until I correct typos due to the shorter fingers on my left hand. $1k more for the saw would have been a bargain in my case. (On the other hand, as my empathetic brother pointed out, "Sure, you can only count to 9-1/3 instead of 10, but you're much better with fractions now.")
