Redundance is a basic concept of safety.
Remember the Hubble trouble! The constructor of this space mirror reduced
the costs by sending the quality control signal through the same optics as
the grinding equipment.
Most nuclear power stations have their critical components tripled.
Chernobyl had not.
Labels are a critical component of laboratory medicine. So, although it
seems as unnecessary: Include redundance in the label!
