Musk cuts the power to one of his data centers. The story isn't "Twitter engineers built infrastructure so resilient that even cutting the power to an entire data center did not cause any degradation to user experience."

No, the story is "Genius manager proves 90% of engineers are useless."

Now he's doing the same (rather sophomoric) thing to government systems. Just start turning things off, and see if anybody yelps enough to turn it back on.

You can donate a kidney and still live a full, normal life. That doesn't mean one of your kidneys was just doing absolutely nothing. Nor does it mean that removing a kidney is a good way to trim that excess weight.


Hey.. kidneys are not people working in the administration: reasoning using analogies is not appropriate for real decision making...
