Question: Instead of having two systems, why not buy one system that works?

Ask the Apollo 13 crew if they would have preferred just one working system.

Accidents happen even with the best available products.

Airlines can't afford non redundant systems in their planes; the CBOT feels the same way about each of their trading vehicles.

It's like insurance. Honest people don't buy it hoping to file a claim.

FWIW,
Ian.
