I'd rather have fragile efficiency over the long run than robust inefficiency to smooth over the rare events like covid.

I mean would we all like the base model Ford Focus to cost $45,000 simply so that they'd be available on the lot during a once in a century pandemic?

Also small-scale fragility makes for large-scale anti-fragility if the broken things are allowed to break.
