Somehow over the years, I suspect they've done about as good as it gets there. I think what Dutch was trying to put across is that design can only take you so far, it requires additional skills to deal with the unexpected. You can account for all sorts of things in a design and do it well, but failures rarely have a single cause. It's when a lot of unexpected things all come together that disaster thumbs its nose at the engineers anyway. |
