Think of it as a medical device, like an MRI machine. Should we have workarounds for when the MRI machine is down? I think we are better off allocating budget to keeping the MRI machine maintained and running, and assuming that as the normal state -- and likewise for this.

In many cases these software tools are literally classified as medical devices by the FDA with all of the regulatory compliance that comes with it

As the other person said - an MRI has way more oversight/rules surrounding it to insure it’s functioning properly and that people are held accountable when it isn’t. The same can’t be said here.

They aren’t parallel situations and you can’t cleanly graft these requirements over.

I think the same thing about meals.
