How does a manual safety make sure a person does NOT keep their finger on the trigger when they're not supposed to?

Ever seen Blackhawk Down? A Delta operation wiggled his trigger finger and said, "this is my safety" when confronted about carrying a hot rifle in a dining facility.
Do you disable the airbags? Do you cut out the seatbelts and not put the kids in car seats?

All government mandated and influenced by lawyers and insurance companies.
John Moses included a thumb safety at the request of the US Army to gain a government contract.
It was not in his original design for what became the 1911 pistol.
manual safety is unnecessary?
Cause all you have to do is KYFFOTFT till you are ready to fire. Simple no?

It doesn't, but that's not the rule. The rule is, do not inadvertently fire the gun, meaning you do not pull the trigger back far enough to fire it when you don't intend to fire it. This might happen by putting your finger on the trigger when you're not supposed to, or it might happen in other ways. The safety, assuming it works as intended, keeps the gun from firing until you release the safety and then pull the trigger back far enough to fire it.
I'm not a big fan of .gov regulation in general, but not wearing a seat belt is just plain willful stupidity.

To discuss whether a manual safety is needed on a striker fired pistol with a long pull or a DAO or DA/SA pistol in DA mode is a debate.
To claim that one should carry an SA pistol cocked with no safety is insanity.

And he was in a WAR ZONE!!
So to me he was right.
So, let me see if I understand this. You're using a character, in a Hollywood movie, with an actor merely reciting words from a screenplay written by Ken Nolan as absolute proof of some kind about guns and trigger control?
Nope, saying John Farnam says so. So does Ken Hackthorn. So does Tom Givens.
