A common complaint about “disruptor” types is that they are entirely cavalier about tossing aside established practice without establishing whether or not it’s established for a bloody good reason.

A phrase often used by critics of these people is that safety standards and engineering regulations are “written in blood”.

I understand one of the people currently trapped in the “Fred in a very expensive shed” submarine is the man responsible for building the thing with obvious disdain for safety and engineering regs.

Tl;dr: fuck around and find out.
