But that's effectively the same goal. If you engineer it to work for 2 years as cheaply as possible, you're probably engineering it to break after 2 years. Would we get better results from "it must cost max X, how can we make it last as long as possible and be repairable?" Probably, but the incentives don't reward it.
- IshKebab 9y agoYes but the intent is vastly different. It's like the difference between accidentally and deliberately killing someone. Same result but they're not the same are they?
- mbrock 9y agoDepends on the systematicity and avoidability of the accidents, I would say. Negligence is different from manslaughter, but it seems like a spectrum.
