I once knew someone who was disabled for life because a medical 
professional missed a decimal point and gave him an order of 
magnitude higher dose of a drug than he should have had. The medical 
professional's career was ruined. The insurance company was out more 
than a million dollars. The patient's life was radically transformed 
for the worse.  (02)
All due to an error in logic.  (03)
This had *very much* to do with reality It had very real 
significance, and very real meaning.  (04)
