Just goes to show that there are some dinosaur programmers still working in NASA. I learned about Fault Tree Analysis as a part of my analytical studies during my college years but no self-respecting programmer would admit to using it these days. It's so archaic.

Maybe they've run out of ways to analyse their problems........
