Efficiency is the enemy of resiliency.

  This is only true if you define efficiency as the inverse of redundancy. Sometimes efficiency is gained by reducing waste, not redundancy

    Redundancy is easy to misclassify as waste, particularly for someone who has incentives to find more ‘waste’ they can cut and claim credit for.

      I would add it's also easy to misclassify when dealing with high-risk, low-probability events. The fact that someone hasn't witnessed something happen in their entire career can lead them to think any mitigation against that event is waste.
