Great job, Thomas!
It comes to my mind Jef Raskin's chapter on safety in his most excellent "The Humane Interface" (I highly recommend that book).
Accidents are usually the result of that kind of alignment you expose.
You did a very good job in communicating a complex issue. The depiction of people moving towards a cliff as a consequence of competing pressures is a very powerful analogy.
But I think you could do even better in communicating the message that this kind of catastrophe is the result of compounding hazzards. It reminds me of an old joke, one about a drunkard who finds a culprit for his drunkness, he says: "I should've never had that last one drink!"
That's the major mistake in "blame culture": the blindness to compounding effects.
Keep up the good work!
Best regards,
