    They're technically correct.

    Good architecture would be implementing resiliency, the ability to handle faults in a single node and recover on another. Anyone with a critical project/product relying on a single node to never fail is going to fail.

    "Stress tests" like these are neat, at most. Ultimately not useful in production. Maybe useful for said language designers?
