Great story, thaumaturgy! Does anyone know how much more rigorous Statistical Process Control [0] needs to be for aerospace than for consumer electronics (for example)? I wouldn't be surprised if 1/1000 failure is AOK for consumer hardware and catastrophic failure for aerospace (as we see with SpaceX).
