It amuses me that the sibling comments appear unable to imagine the possibility that someone is incompetent.

Of course there are other possibilities - the people breaking things are doing the hard bits that no one else dare to.

But wouldn't that imply that the "daring, thing-breaking" people are actually incompetent to some degree? Otherwise they would mitigate the risk before performing any dangerous operations on a live system.

Even in that case the overall system is still at fault for not recognizing their incompetence and either training them to be competent or getting rid of them.
