I don't think that analogy is all that useful to thinking about the
problem. I'd rather think about it like uptime in a web service: we
can tell when its down, and we should react by bringing it up, and
resourcing the ops staff appropriately to be able to respond; and
resourcing the dev team appropriately to be able to fix
root-cause-is-a-bug issues.
