Things that succeed teach us little beyond the fact that they have been
successful; things that fail provide incontrovertible evidence that the
limits of design have been exceeded. Emulating success risks failure;
studying failure increases our chances of success. The simple principle
that is seldom explicitly stated is that the most successful designs are
based on the best and most complete assumptions about failure. (Henry
Petroski, Success Through Failure)
