> There are situations in which humans will behave predictably

that's just high probability guess work at the best. what I mean by conscious is you won't be able to predict each and every move of a living thing throughout their lifetime. Nobody "designed" us unlike machines or algorithms. We do not have any function to perform (ironically the cause of all misery :P )

> For example, an airplane engine may unpredictably fail.

same argument you can make for the unpredictable direction of wind or the probability of rain. But, still these things are bound by the laws of physics and chemistry hence theoretically 100% predictable.
