That's one of the most retarded bureaucracy stories I have ever heard. The court eunuch mentality of the machine men is retarded.
It's like that one story about a guy who needed to cancel an appointment, but they required 72 hours notice and he was too late and had to pay a fee to cancel. Finds out that rescheduling is free. Reschedules to a later date. Then cancels for free.

Also I think for my next car I will get one without a computer
