You forget about Lithium ion battery and nuclear fusion and many more examples. All the problems can't be solved by simple solution you need to do complex things.

The article doesn't say we can't have complex systems. It simply states they are doomed to fail in some way, and that we need to be prepared for that

I think by complex system you mean a shitty system build by jokers which is doomed to fail. You can’t just build any bullshit and called it complex.

That is not true. Nuclear reactor are far more complex and not doomed to fail one day. So stop the bullshit.
