“We really think we can enable a disaster-free future.”

That statement gave me pause since it's quite the unrealistic claim to make.

I think it's reckless to make claims like this even with genuinely useful technology because it triggers the "Arrogant engineers think tech is the answer to everything" response which leads to people in other fields dismissing things out of hand that could actually be worthwhile.
Yeah that's bizarre. Managing disasters well, maybe.
maybe a disaster is a poorly managed incident. You perhaps cant stop incidents but can stop poor management of them
