The post at that url writes  about the culture of the Ariane team, but
I would say  that it's even a more fundamental  problem of our culture
in general: we build brittle  stuff with very little margin for error.
Granted, it would  be costly to increase physical  margin, but in this
case, adopting a point of  view more like _robotics_ could help.  Even
in case of hardware failure, there's  no reason to shut down the mind;
just go on with what you have.

Do not adjust your mind, there is a fault in reality.
