Failure modes
In a kick-off keynote address at the 2001 OOPSLA in Tampa, Henry Petroski
discussed success and failure in design throughout history, concluding that
there is a unique interrelationship between the two.Failure could be generational,
said Petroski; when engineers start to work with new design paradigms they take
great care. Then as things get familiar, they forget about the fundamentals
and they push, sometimes beyond the real design limits. From
ADT's January 2002 issue.
