    But even in saying it is a ship problem, that isnā€™t limiting to one failure point. There could be many small failures or choices that lead to the ā€œship problem.ā€ Of course after that, you have a new cascade of things that lead to the final outcome still, but I just want to express that ā€œship problemā€ doesnā€™t mean simple.
