This reminds me of a point Peter made earlier. Another reason why the
IEC 61508 standardisaton process is broken is that it is far too
expensive for most professionals to own a copy of the standard, and it's
not available free online.

What use is a standard that is long, complex and largely inaccessible?
It can't be given to students either.
