The article discusses what’s known as the “Waddington Effect”, highlighting situations where overly frequent or overly intrusive maintenance can actually increase system failures rather than prevent them. This draws attention to the paradox: more maintenance doesn’t always lead to better reliability—at a certain point, it can have the opposite effect.
The concept originated from observations in system reliability where preventive measures, when too aggressive or frequent, interfered with normal operations and introduced new failure paths.
