IFF can be fooled. IFF can break down. Pattern recognition is very nice,
except these incidents have a nasty habit of happening beyond visual
range.

And don't forget the high degree of automation is often an important
factor in these incidents even happening.

But yes, humans make mistake,s too. But they, unlike machines, can be
court-martialed as an example for other humans not to do it again ;)
