you're a lawyer.

you run gcc without arguments.

it says:

"gcc: fatal error: no input files"

puzzled, you consult the dictionary.

fatal: causing death. leading to failure or disaster.

error: a mistake. the state or condition of being wrong in conduct or judgement.

is starting gcc without arguments equivalent to making a mistake, a wrong action that leads to deadly failure or disaster? did you just kill someone? did you commit a felony? now you are panicking. you turn off the pc.
