> The vast majority of marine (and aviation) accidents are a result of operator error, not mechanical failure.
Could that be because the vast majority of mechanical designs go through processes designed to validate them and catch flaws?
They also use SpaceX as an example. SpaceX ran a large number of unmanned launches to prove out the design before putting people on board. Several of those ended in loss of the vehicle and the data from that was used to refine.
