Why can't he? If someone has the kind of contrtol over the device that
would allow a redirection of electrical inpulses that could alter the
visual display or even regulate power in the device why isn't he able to
create a feedback in the device that could damage the sammie's brain
perhaps even causing an aneurysm and so immediate death?
