• We build with imperfect knowledge and with bias and with poorly conceived blueprints and with inadequate materials and for all sorts of personal reasons
  
• Things go wrong
  
• We react, but often not until there is some disaster followed by public outrage

• The burdens of ill-conceived design bring what was built crashing to the ground.
