New coinage
I've coined a new acronym that stands for a principle often used in the
experimental helicopter community. I have named it NHFY. It stands for None Have Failed Yet. It is a reliability measurement used by some that certainly needs close examination to ascertain the validity. Some folks who have exhausted all their knowledge, skills and finances to make their product as good as possible can legitimately use the NHFY measurement ethically and reasonably. However some use the NHFY as a reliability statement to help them ignore a responsibility to fix some problem that they recognize but don't want to do anything about it until they have to. This means something is going to have to fail before they fix it. Hopefully no one is hurt or killed when it fails. I'm going to try to distinguish between the two types of NHFY users in my future dealings. |
