If "the bridge collapses and people die" because the team has a 1min26 "downtime" on a specific day, which is what you are arguing, then you have much bigger problems to solve than the performance of AI agents.

Uptime and reliability are not the same thing. Designing a bridge doesn't require that the engineer be working 99.9% of minutes in a day, but it does require that they be right in 99.9% of the decisions they make.
Another way to think about it is that, if the engineer isn't right in 99.9% of decision, the bridge will have 99.9% uptime.
That's pretty bad for a bridge haha
