It's curious, but I just heard something on French TV from a journalist that's relevant to this. She said she'd covered the aeronautics field in the past and mentioned the *principe de dissemblance* (dissimilarity principle). Critical redundant parts on aircraft, she claimed, would be sourced from different manufacturers in order to obviate the possibility of redundant failures you've raised here. > > David > >
