Exactly! Which is why we put up with those complex systems, with all their failure points -- they have rescue modes for the vast majority of the failures they can have.
My point was simply to say that the argument that adding failure points reduces the probability of a failure is mathematically invalid. Adding failure points may increase the robustness of a system, though, depending on design.
Adding a 90 degree adapter doesn't add any redundancy or any salvage capability, but does add an infinitesimal amount of increased likelihood of a problem. Bottom line: If you put a 90 degree adapter on your reg, YOU ARE GOING TO DIE!
Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!
