QED
In the software world everyone is really obsessed with quality as an isolated thing, they want beautiful code and fast performance, and workarounds for external variables you don't control are disliked, programmers have a "Let it fail" kind of attitude.
Always interesting to look at the life safety stuff and what they do when failure is not an option, and it doesn't matter who's fault it is, you make it work if you can.
