Yes we do that, but even regulators that are not software controlled
should really be described anyway since it's a much simpler rule for
people to understand, it ensures that we can just scale up on systems
where there does happen to be software control and it makes all the
resulting code much simpler and hence less error prone if we're not
randomly ignoring some errors.
