As I have Moldavia already, on all bands, all modes.
I would chalk a radio glitch to, 'oh well'.
Now missing a P5 on 160, where I don't have it worked might undo all the
work my cadiologist and surgeon just did.
But...you are correct, While I 'want' my system to be reliable,and as
someone who has missed other rare ones NOT through a equipment malfunction,
I consider these as 'oh hum' something to talk about at the meeting.
Frustration of occasional radio/computer lockups isn't life altering.
But the fun of learning a whole new way of radio/computer interaction, well
that is slightly life altering.
I just spent two evenings learning how to multiplex multiple clusters and
cwskimmer into my bandmap so my Flex can find the ones I need quicker.
Maybe not life altering, but definetly keeping my synapes working.

With respect, guys, I think you are talking past each other. The extent
to which errors are tolerated must be tempered by the potential
consequences
of failure. As someone who has worked in the health care industry all my
life, I can tell you that it is a frequent source of frustration to
physicians and nurses that they are held to an extremely high standard of
performance while those who support them are not. Nonetheless, it does
not
make sense to impose the same quality controls on the housekeeping
department that one does on the heart surgeons and the ICU nurses.
If your electronic brake system is failing, you may, indeed, be at risk
of
death. In such an instance, the assurance of an extremely low failure
rate
is appropriate and compelling. But if your 5K burps at an
inopportune
moment what are you going to lose? Points in a DX contest? That QSL
from
Moldavia that you have been seeking since 1943?
