    Reminds me of that time our product caught fire because of a damaged battery, and the suits bullied the in-house regulator for an hour until he officially recorded it as not using the word “fire”

        I don’t remember his actual title. He’s certified by whatever regulatory organization and our company needed one because of the type of devices we sold.

        But yea you basically described his role.

        We did UL listed stuff and his role, by comparison, seemed like a notary public.

      Ah, a thermal event. The company I work for had a similar policy, but we’re now free to say the f-word again.
