Taking it one step further, perhaps you can have a quotient that
determines how often the failures are. Something between 0.0 (no
failures) and 1 (dead).
If such a system could be built (and I'm sure it could) it would be a
fabulous training device for people. Imagine doing this same sort of thing
on a PC (which fails more than my PDP-11 in my experience!) you could help
thousands of people.
