What does this mean? [/quote]

It means that if a $50 million yacht sinks because a crew member doesn't close a hath, the design is shoddy. [/quote]

Oh yea, I see that. I was trying to make that point earlier but not expressing it clearly. I’m sure there are things the crew did or didn’t do that weren’t perfect, but you’d think a $40m blue water yacht designed to cross oceans could handle a weather event like this at port and not capsize and sink in 6 minutes. Seems like something’s not right in the design if it provides for zero human error. [/quote]

That's not typically how complex systems fail. Complex systems invariably operate in a partially  failed state because the built-in redundancy allows operation in a failed state. Eventually, the small failures accumulate and become a catastrophic failure.

Examples? Like the 787 max? [/quote]
