I guess I made a poor point. I am saying that SRE has basically solidified into the expectation of the high 99 percentile as the bottom level of expected downtime. Even two nine is like 1hr per year.

There really isn't much to discuss in the industry of SRE. You basically have to be flawless. Its like the janitor. Miss the garbage pickup one day and heads roll. If you have SRE's and the service is down you are done. There is no longer any nuance which is why the CEO guy in the OP doesn't think about SRE anymore than the garbage collection.
