There's no right or wrong answer to this since failure predictions are logically flawed.

Doomsday cult leaders no longer insist the world will end on a specific day; they insist it will end imminently after a series of vague events. Your skeptics will die of old age before you can ever be proven wrong.

Well, no, failure predictions can either be based on evidence or they can be based on nothing. The doomsday cult is based on nothing, the submarine safety prediction is based on looking at which precautions the company is and is not taking.
