   Okay. So you evaluate. And you claim that you control. But you are
   an expert user, and I think neither of us wants to design LudovicOS
   (or ShapOS). Please explain what tools are available that your
   grandmother can use to effectively control the consequences of her
   actions in practice?

His grandmother won't care aslong as the thing will do whatever she
asked the computer to do, and if it doesn't do that, she will call her
grandson to fix it for her, and to some nitting while waiting.

You are putting to much faith into normal users, they really don't
give a fuck as long as the computer does what they tell it to do, and
the list what a normal user asks a computer to do is quite limited.
