Anyone who manufactures weapons or accessories for weapons has to design them to be fool-proof. What does that mean? It means the flashlight must be designed in such a manner that even an untrained fool can operate it safely.

That's impossible to do for anything that involves an operational firearm.
A good designer can take steps to make a product as safe as reasonably possible, but making it fool-proof enough for an untrained fool to operate safely is an unattainable goal.
Somewhere you have to find a balance. A design that involves tightening the second finger of the shooting hand in a motion virtually identical to the motion that the first finger of the shooting hand makes to fire the gun is probably a bad idea. So there's some room for improvement in that respect.
However, even with a good design, there are considerations that need to be addressed via training before kicking an LEO (or CCW'ing citizen) out the front door with a weapon light attached to his gun.
