Automation removes work. It doesn’t remove the failure. It moves it into the joins between the parts. The honest counter: the totals really did get better. Fewer people get hurt. New failure modes aren’t automatically bigger ones. But new and unwatched is its own problem. The check that catches a stage succeeding wrongly is part of the stage.
What it says
We automated the work and kept the failure.
Every part we hand over becomes a part to watch.
And the parts talk to each other, unseen.
So the trouble moves into the seams between them.
And then the counts come in, and far fewer of us get hurt than before.
New isn’t the same as more, and smaller isn’t nothing.
