"I would think that, as a computer guy, you'd have a worst-case mental discipline to abhor any single point of failure (SPF)." Yep. And if an SPF is unavoidable, then a risk assessment is done. The probability of a major earthquake in Saxony would be pretty low on the list. Something like Intel's "botched transistor" process would be high. And the latter happened at more than one fab, so the fact there wasn't an SPF wasn't that big of a comfort... I think this "single fab concern" is what is known as a "Red Herring".
