No, it isn't. It is like saying the highway system proved itself when the 101 was closed because people could take 280 instead. If for some reason, you only had planned to ever take 101 and wasn't ready to take an alternate route, yes you got screwed, but that was kind of your own lack of planning for this particular failure mode.
