A big part of why Rome's monuments have lasted is they didn't use reinforced concrete. Reinforcing with steel rebar allows much thinner concrete walls than without, however it also makes them susceptible to rust/expansion&#x2

A similar thing happens in the sports world all of the time. (Largely) random events are shoe-horned into a story about overcoming adversity. The result is then cast as inevitable and the movie rights are eventually sold.
