thats not entirely accurate. a great conterexample was the mark XIV torpedo during world war two. it was faulty and the workers at the bureau of navy ordinance couldnt get their heads out of their asses to fix the problem. meanwhile sailors were dying. admirals and captains kept trying to fix the problem until finally one admiral (king iirc) got so pissed off he shoved the changes through and reformed the bureau of ordinance.
