Disidentify from Roles and Rules

There’s a powerful scene in the movie Contact that I think about a lot.

Dr. Ellie Arroway, played by Jodi Foster, is strapped into a seat aboard a futuristic spacecraft. The spacecraft was built using specifications communicated by extraterrestrial intelligence. However, the seat Ellie is strapped into wasn’t part of the original specs. Engineers, believing they knew better than Ellie and the alien intelligence, added the seat to protect Ellie on her journey.

I promise this is going somewhere!
