Review of Success in Design Failure

Stephen Cass's interview with Professor Petrovski gives the listener a "180" or paradoxical approach to design...better information comes from designs that fail than from those that succeed.
The professor says that's because the failures draw more scrutiny. Petrovski says without failure, complacency sets in. While this topic could get too weighty and dense, Cass keeps it closer to "snapshot"length.
