Nobody loses a finger to a power tool by accident. You lose a finger to a power tool because you made a mistake. The root of every accident is someone making a mistake. In fact, in some industries safety training bans the word accident to make it clear. Being maimed by a mistake can be a tough thing to cope with. It’s something I would have trouble being public about. It’s courage and a comfort level with strangers on the Internet that I lack.
Also, ashamed and embarrassed are not synonyms. You’re arguing with a term I did not use. Shame is a way bigger deal than embarrassment.

Everybody learns how to drive and passes a driver’s license. So I guess road accidents have all but disappeared now, right?
Because as we all know, training makes people perfect and totally eliminates risks.
