The issue came when people decide that "emergency" and "normal operations" should be the same. In an emergency such corner cutting approach might allow for quicker resolutions since in most cases emergencies happen in a relatively charted/pre-computed territory, in ordinary condition impede a proper development resulting in much more emergencies, and more and more larger/tough.

Unfortunately too many fails to appreciate complexity so "if something work" it must work anytime, at any scale, for any scenarios and so on. Teaching complexity IME generally fail.

The important thing is to make sure that it doesn’t fail silently fail or with unknown consequences (e.g. data corruption). So make sure that whenever something doesn’t work, it fails loudly and doesn’t proceed as if everything was okay.
