Just wondering what you think of this:
Viewpoint: Challenger and the misunderstanding of risk http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-35432071
I think that they were trying to manage the wrong sort of risk, that is treating it as a reliability issue (i.e. aleatory uncertainty) rather than a design fault (i.e. epistemic uncertainty). At the heart of it for me is an inability of the engineers to communicate this different sort of risk to the decision makers.
