My understanding of regulated industries (e.g. CE products sold internationally) there are two sides of the coin. 1) properly understanding history as a motivation for risk management and properly funding that quality control. 2) technical ability to implement solutions to the risks identified from step one. For example, the founder of the company that designs and builds a medical device does not necessarily understand the negatives of pressing CTRL+ALT+DELETE when the software from the manufacturer freezes. People can do so many things wrongly in just a few simple steps. We can think of dozens of ways to fix the problem but the C levels might only understand 0.5 to 1 of those solutions. There simply isn't enough quality work going in to a proprietary/closed system that is profit driven. In my little dream world if all businesses were open-source (code, process, profit margins, all of it) we'd be better at building off of past work and innovation would literally be cheaper. Maybe it's a pipe dream.
