Whenever I see this [excellent] paper, I am always struck by the first sentence, in the first section:

> All of the interesting systems (e.g. transportation, healthcare, power generation) are inherently and unavoidably hazardous by THE own nature.

(Emphasis mine)

I am not sure if that's a typo, or some writing convention that my uneducated mind can't grok.

Is it not merely an example of such failure?
