My post was not meant to predict the failure of these systems. I spoke from a mathematic prospective of probability...you know combinations and permutations. If the probability of one thing happening is 1% and the probability of another is also 1%, the probability of both happening is 1% X 1% or .01%. Math is an exact science...usually.

Herminghaus" : If the success rate is 99.1% for both items, the probability that=20 both will work is .991 X .991 or 98.2%. To put it in more understandable terms, if the failure rate for each of two objects is 33%, it is obvious that the failure rate of the assembly is not 10,9%. =20 "Chatfield S.
