I've been pondering a similar idea. It is more about optimization and failure tolerance. Highly optimized systems are great, until they aren't. F1 race cars are notoriously touchy and require a team of specialists to keep running, while a 1950's pickup truck I happen to know of may be slow, uncomfortable and horribly polluting, but has been in operation for pushing 70 years and is currently maintained by a single person who doesn't have to do much to it. Just in time inventory control is great for margins, until, for instance, the bulk of the hard drive production capacity in the world is flooded. Optimization and resilience frequently sit in tension, if not outright opposition.
