Have you ever read anything written about engineering failures? Off the top of my head I'm thinking about Henry Petroski (Google for it if you have the time).
If you think that the study of failure doesn't belong in the mental repertoire of engineers and designers you're probably in the wrong place.
Thanks for the message, stick around a bit and surely something will eventually interest you. Or start your own topic, we're pretty open to new subjects.
