"You are always in control."
The systems industry's all-time biggest lie.
Also typically the first unintentional signal you're not the least in control.
Because when a giant tech company tells you this, it unpacks as follows:
"We're in control of this of this thing, not you. All we're doing is giving you a UI switch we can pull back anytime. We/our people may or may not abuse it. But we're on your/our side. Trust us. And just click 'Yes' to our limited liability..."
