As stated I would agree with you Mike but your statement needs some qualification to be useful. We are talking about the use of a tablesaw here and personally when I am using a tablesaw my attention to detail and process goes WAAAAAY up compared to when I am using a hammer. Ironically I am more likely to hurt myself with a less dangerous instrument than the tablesaw because my guard is down and I am not on "high alert".

I don't mean this to be smug but anyone who has set off their SS because they touched the rotating blade with their body or measuring/layout tools really likely should own a SS. It will save them. I just wonder what machine in their shop without this technology will be the one to injure or maim them.

I hope that we all can enjoy woodworking safely for as long as we want to work wood!
