Imagine a HN link to a paper which summarizes various other studies for the causes of failures in auto navigation systems. Dozens of studies are cited, which covers areas such as incomplete testing due to schedule pressures, not adhering to coding guidelines for safety, lack of redundancy or self checking mechanisms, hardware failure, unanticipated overruns of scheduler time budgets due to a confluence of exceptions, etc.
Next, imagine someone leaves a comment which leaves the impression they didn't read the paper, only the title, and said, "Maybe they use too many GOTOs."
Finally, imagine someone saying, "Not sure why you are getting downvoted, this is a good point."
