More experienced customers are likely using the saw more often so I wouldn’t presume this only or primarily benefits the inexperienced.

First digit amputation (100% recoverable) I caused myself happened after spending most of my life using a knife because I just got complacent and was cooking when I knew I was extremely fatigued. Wood is also a natural product where natural variance can cause a table saw to operate in unexpected ways that catch people off guard.
