Neither would I. My mechanical engineering background makes me feel comfortable that your situation wouldn't happen. I look at the PG&E gas fire in San Bruno as a good example of how IoE can help. People had to physically go to a flowmeter to turn off the flow of gas, which led to a 45 minute delay. If that flowmeter were connected to an actuator, we could turn it off manually. By using secure, encrypted virtual network overlays, we can guarantee that no one can abuse the connection.

Of course, I'm a big fan of having a manual override.
