It's shocking that such a dangerous system can't detect that a probe is not installed.
Intel have well-documented processes:

Completely apart from whether they did the right thing before the accident, I was boggled by the disconnect in the language used by Intel, even though I know it's just standard corporate speak on autopilot:
"Intel has a well-known safety culture and the safety and well-being of our workforce is our top priority...We are disappointed in this decision"
How can the last sentence coexist with the first sentence? I mean, they don't have to fight over a few hundred thousand if they want to leave the impression they care about health and safety at all. Negligence is one thing; the response to mistakes is another.
And no, they don't owe it to the stockholders.
