Not to argue semantics, but isn't Murphy's law "EVERYTHING that can go wrong will go wrong." I'm just saying that not EVERYTHING went wrong.... if everything had gone wrong, the Discovery wouldn't be here today either.

That may be the Family Feud understanding, but the Original Murphy's Law as formulated by Commander (later Admiral) Joseph M Murphy was
"If the design allows some part to be installed incorrectly, sooner or later some idiot will do so".

In other words it's not a fatalistic "we're doomed" idea, but a design it right originally maxim.
