You're wrong as usual

Electrical power distribution design and installation failure can occur in many different modes including insidious failures as well as failures which don't manifest themselves for months or years. As is always the case you shoot your mouth off without knowing what you are talking about. How long were the defects unknown and undetected in both the system configuration and the fault protection and isolation scheme before a feeder failure in the midwest a few summers ago took out much of the midwest and northeast power grid? That's just one of countless examples. Recently I heard a report from a collegue that a company I worked at 11 years ago just had a massive power failure in their main data center because someone had installed a defective design for dual pathing and a component failure took out both the primary and redundant systems. Up to that time it worked just fine. So much for your theories. Stick to what you do know....whatever that is.
