Waiting for an accident to occur before determining that the modifications that allowed it to happen were unsafe -- because the estimates are "essentially made up" -- is just naive.

On the real world, what is naive is expecting you did in fact know all the failure modes beforehand. The entire problem with rockets is that you can't fit many such systems into them. So the accidents happen.
