Grid architectures are designed to work around single-point failures, but in the 1989 event there were 15 major failures in a few seconds across the regional grid, and that was more than the system could cope with.
People who were asked to reflect on their many past successes or a specific failure scored roughly 10% better on tests of mathematical ability, as well as verbal, spatial, and abstract reasoning, than those who reflected on either many past failures or a single specific success.
But I think he's kind of getting boxed into the corner of being as - portrayed as a single-note supporter of war that's have a lot of failures, which I think loses some context.
