The odds of two pipelines spontaneously failing within minutes of each other yet kilometers apart seems slim.
This gets lost in conversation because what is said rarely communicates all the nuances related to what actually is. It may be said something is done - this pipeline has been built, obviously none of that communicates the choices made, the corners cut, and all their pros and cons. So people assume what they wish on what isnt said, and invariably they will communicate what their understanding is, more details are lost, and we end up with statements like this, that have always been true, said like it's some sort of epiphany.
Until we can tap the whole of knowledge and understandings when communicating, this will always happen.
Please someone come up with the semantic calculator, not ML FFS, a semantic calculator, a tool that deterministically can put into relation concepts of higher degree than what can be done with prepositional logic. This way when you encode the whole of knowledge into it, encode what you already think you know, and then you can query it to get what you need without having to parse an entire book, article or paper and all their references.

Vulnerability is what humans would use do describe how something alive and conceptually "whole". It is something can can be exploited to inverse those properties. If we are all just matter in different configurations, in a universe full of matter in infinite combinations, "vulnerable" loses its meaning.
So perhaps, in the larger scale of things, nothing is truly vulnerable.
