People laugh at our methods, but that's how Von Neumann machines work. Unless you are the programmer or you can guess what the programmer expects from you, moving the machine instuction list back to the very first instruction (reset) and hoping to not fall on the same mistake again is the way to go.
Sure, the joke about us to propose fixing a car problem by turning off the motor, exit and re enter the car again is a bit far fetched, but like any end user is a possible solution as absurd as it sounds.
