Sure, but there's "reliable cuz it's simple" and there's "reliable cuz
it's failsoft/failsafe". In XA we're not much a fan of the "simpleton".
It's just amazing how "un-simple" that "simple" system can be. :)  When
your life's on the line, you want backup, not "simple" solutions.

Nah, no can-o-worms, just a matter of training and technical education.

"inherently unreliable" systems you contemplate.
