I’m not sure about the “sadly” part here. Whilst it proved that something could be done, it also taught us a lot about what doing it cost (a lot), how scalable it was (not), and whether it would be broadly applicable (no).

Any strategy for improving software resilience has to account for the scale and pace of software development, as well as accommodating the skill gradient and surrounding social factors. FV as currently practiced fails at all of this.

Doing the same thing and expecting a different result is either madness or stupidity. Rigor and correctness are lacking in most, if not all, software engineering and it's still not okay.
