[OT - anecdote] I used to work in power generation and transmission (CEGB, for those with long memories), in which every system was required to be fault tolerant - one fault at a time. As Wol says, that's fine until your one fault has appeared and not been noticed. Then another fault appears - and the reactor shuts down! Carpeting comes next... Oh, frabjous day!
