At scale, rare errors will occur on a semi-regular basis.

Multi-day outages tend to be indicative of a dysfunctional internal organization.

Totally fair - I don't mean to excuse the results. That's an interesting insight that perhaps it's possible to identify organizations who have scaled (or whose products have scaled) too quickly based on whether they can cope with outages.
