And you will still be exposed to being blindsided by something out of your control. It's really only in your control of you can think of and plan for it ahead of time. And there will certainly be things that we don't consider. You can call that a failure but it happens all the time and it's reality.
What if a political event impacts you, for instance? A pandemic? A storm taking out a major data center? A weird Linux kernel edge case that only happens beyond a certain point in time? That only sounds ridiculous because it hasn't happened, but weird things like that happen all the time. There are so many unseen possibilities.
I understand that might sound unreasonable or facetious or like I'm expanding the scope.
The point is, the more confident that you've built something that has no SPOF the more exposed your are to the risk of it, because one probably does exist.
