Care to attempt a proper analogy?

Care to state what you believe is wrong with the one I made? No analogy
is perfect, nor is it proof, but this one is adequate to illustrate the
point.

The product was properly prepared...

The contention is that the product was =not= properly prepared. I think
I agree.

Should GM be held responsible if someone drives a Chevy off a cliff?

Maybe. If the case is that somebody rents a Chevette from Avis, and
when he drives it off the lot, he zooms out into traffic, crashing into
six cars before finally coming to a stop, upside down and on fire, and
further investigation shows that Avis replaced the Chevette's engine
with a 400 HP muscle car motor and a hair trigger accelerator because
their customers "liked to go fast", it could reasonably be argued that
the response of the rented vehicle did not match the expectations of a
reasonable person.

"It's a car. Press on the accelerator, it goes. Duh"

Well, no. It's "too hot".
