This is so absurd that I wonder if you're telling? Humans don't even have a 99.99% success rate in breathing, let alone any cognitive tasks.

Will you please elaborate a little on this?

Humans cough or otherwise have to clear their airways about 1 in every 1,000 breaths, which is a 99.9% success rate.
Thank you for following up
That’s quite good given the complexity and fragility of the system and the chaotic nature of the environment.
