The "error-free Internet"? Really?

The truth is that most engineers are aware of what Agile is. It's a series of principles used to run a software development project. Agile isn't a set of tools or a movement or a methodology. It's only people who are selling tools or books or a viewpoint that talk like this.

From the trenches, I have never worked in Agile. I've worked with "agile" and I've worked in teams organized using agile principles. But, the orthodoxy has come from consultants, who were quickly shown the door.

"error-free Internet" is a fair description. Given suitable hardware and a connection, you can reliably send email, access Web servers, run Web services, regardless of distance. The errors, if they occur, tend not to be a the software level.

That's fault tolerance.

which would be wholly unrelated to software ;-)
