        I don't think that there is much of a question there. Would you like a great seatbelt or to never need one?

          100% Working Backups... Solid reliable systems can fail.

            I'd go the other way and create backups of the working system but I grok where you're coming from

                I'm not sure that's a good comparison.

                A solid reliable system does not imply it will never fail, but to never need a seatbelt means I can clearly go without it.

                  I'm pretty sure the point of the question was that it was completely reliable since the alternative was completely reliable. If it wasn't then again, no question, one was totally reliable with the backups.

                  Honestly, impossible questions are pointless. Nothing is perfectly reliable, so there is no point.

                    Exactly, so sort of some funniness, I'm not really sure why I would read about two fictional non-nonsensical situations.

                      Would you rather all of your IT staff be rabbits or all of management be frogs.

                            Once we are asking fanciful, impossible questions... what is the point? We might as well talk about fairies and talking animals taking over jobs.

                              Well, Youtube does have the armies of code monkeys.
