Nice! So excess robustness will cause failure through inefficiency (with "excess" being a situation dependent variable) - but you need some robustness. Evolution of course, optimizes for this, hence biological systems' wonderful balance. I do think this is the part of the equation that is left out by the "precautionary principle" types.
