Nah, industrial communication protocols in the IT industry uses lots of master/slave terminology. E.g. Modbus and Profibus DP comes to mind.

Ted sounds like quite the importer/exporter. I feel like he should focus more on the imports than the exports. E.g. latex, diapers, chips and long matches.

a human produces 1.35 deaths per 100M miles driven

My car has been driven around 100k miles by a human, i.e. it has produced 0.00135 deaths. Is that like a third of a pinky toe?
