Aerospace things have to be like this or they just wouldn’t work at all. There are just too many points of failure and redundancy is capped by physics. When there’s a million things which if they went wrong could cause catastrophic failure, you have to be really good at learning how to not make mistakes.

Not exactly. The idea is not not making mistakes, it's whatcha gonna do about X when (not if) it fails.
