Not necessarily. It can bring out the worse.

Let's say you are stressing a machine beyond its limit. The risks are specified in the manual but you still do it. The resulting mechanical damage can't be blamed on the manufacturer.

So well put. People you could have roomed with, drink with, hung out with, even been trapepd on a desert island with, all successfully, can turn into monsters under the pressure of running out of money and associated startup events. And you can find yourself echoing that behaviour.
