Haven't most people at some time looked at the back of an electronic product or manual and seen the FCC compliance statement.
"Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation."
This helps translates abstract concepts such as morality into a form that engineers can comprehend. I find it far snapper than the similar sentiment expressed in the Lord's prayer.
"And Forgive us Our Trespasses, as we Forgive those who Trespass against Us"
As an atheist engineer it warms me that such a statement of philosophy, independent of religion, should persist hidden in plain sight after the bibles have largely disappeared.
