Nature is reliable in that we have rules (physics) and practices (engineering) to base our process upon. People aren't reliable, for a specific value of reliable. We expect of technology(machines, software, AI, whatever) to be: deterministically reliable (knowing their failure modes), and significantly more reliable than humans at what they do (because that's what we rely upon, why we use them to replace humans at what they, in ways humans can't: harder, faster, stronger).
