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.
