A Douglas Adams's Axiom

Douglas Adams (1952-2001) is the author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.  Adams was a serious fan of technology - - he was the first person to buy a Mac in the UK.

Engineers need to remember one of his observations - -

"The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong and does go wrong - - it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair."

Sound advice indeed.
