Two schools of thought?

- Those that really try hard to make sure the computer cannot crash.

- Those that see the computer crashing as an inevitability, and want to ensure the appropriate behaviours are in place when it does happen.



When it comes to high risk activities, the preference should be for: those that really try hard to make sure the computer cannot crash and also have plans in place in case it happens.

The two are not mutually exclusive at all.


I think the distinction is more like: those with combat drill practice and those with actual combat experience.
