Abstract(in English) When an accident or a malfunction with automatic machines occur, the foreknowledge possibility of the engineer who designed them is often alleged. In general, opinions of experts are taken seriously than opinions of people who do not have expertise. If it is shown with objective evidence that it is unexpected malfunction even for experts, the foreknowledge possibility is denied. The expert can make a proper decision based on expertise about the coverage of the automatic machine. On the other hand, the person who does not have expertise becomes careful about the handling of the automatic machine and may underestimate the coverage. When the malfunction that an expert cannot foresee under such situation occurs, the result accords with the forecast by the person who does not have expertise by chance. Then, the engineers are questioned excessive responsibility. This tendency is in particular remarkable about a computer system. In this paper, the case that a user of the Okazaki City Library was arrested is shown as a case study of this problem. Moreover, with the perspective about a design of the automatic machine and engineering ethics, we discuss it as the internal security issues that authors have considered.
