I believe that the broad principle of the MIT research and its offspring 
is that the safety architecture should expressly deal with hazards 
arising as a result of unreliable components. And so, if unreliable 
components can still affect system safety (i.e. lead to hazards) it 
seems to me that our architecture must be wrong...
