Woah, that's a scary picture you paint right there! When you put it like this, I can definitely see it happening. And it makes for a damn good story too. I sure hope not though.
I guess there are quite a few regulations when human lives are involved, and when shortcuts or downright foul play is exposed companies do pay the consequences. Volkswagen definitely felt the consequences of their cheating diesel cars. Market forces sort of work when the consequences are directly felt.
But to continue on the VW example, I wonder what the engineers that applied the techniques to cheat the test are up to? Did they ever get any flack of that? Did they get away with saying 'I just did what I was told'? Did anyone even bother to ask what their responsibility is in this all?
To end on a positive note, I think there will always be a place for autodidacts in technology. There are new techniques to work on and experiment with every single day and a degree will always be a few steps behind current technology!
