Wow, everything working should be the goal- not a mere nice to have.

  Stop being such a nerd! There’s an old boat in the water that sank because of hubris, let’s go see what we can learn! (Lesson learned the hard way)

  > everything working should be the goal It's probably the goal, but complex endeavors mean you need to iterate to get there

    The iteration has already been done. Safety rules exist because somebody has died and had it written in their blood. Failure to read the literature gets people killed. This is reckless and it is stupid and excusemaking for it has no moral grounds.

        This is a response that, if made not in jest, is a signal of mendacity. Submersibles visited the Challenger Deep in the 1960s. We know how to build them, we know how to build them effectively, and we know many of the ways not to build them. "But we added tourists!" is not a meaningful factor here unless what you meant-but-wouldn't-say is "but we value engineered it!" in which case: yes, exactly, that's what safety rules are designed to put guardrails around.
