Postel's Law should be called the "Hardness Principle", not the "Robustness Principle". Much like how hardening a metal makes it take more force to break, but results in it being brittle & failing catastrophically when it does, so Postel's law makes systems harder to break initially, but results in more damage when they do fail. It also makes the system harder to maintain, thus adding a pun to the name. |
