> We need to avoid treating deaths as progress in the pursuit of better things

Au contraire. Go read building codes some time. There's a saying that they're "written in blood" - every bit, no matter how obvious or arbitrary seeming, was earned through some real-world failure.

The death itself isn't progress, of course. But we owe it to the person to who died to learn from what happened.
