Arduino vs 555 reliability

23 Apr 2012

...
    I've received more digital cameras to repair
lately than 1960's
 discrete-component calculators.  Does that mean modern digital
 cameras are less reliable than 1960s discrete calculators?  in my case, the lesson
from experience still holds when corrected
 for such effects. 
 What correction for what effect? 
"A is far commoner than B, so seeing more instances of failing A than
of failing B does not allow any deductions about the relative failure
rates".  I took that to be your point; even if it's not the point you
intended, it's a point I felt worth addressing.

I've personally seen far more failures of well-designed computers than
of experimental scramjets.  Does that mean experimental scramjets are
the more reliable of the two?  No; I just have never had anything to do
with scramjets, reliable or otherwise.
