They have to be pressed to consider the disasters and how to
prevent them, otherwise they will always be late. Quod erat

Nope! This only demonstrates that **** happens. The fact that despite
massive government regulations **** still happens. QED.


You should consider a course in Logic, Jack -- TAKING one; not
TEACHING one.

The salient question, of course, is: would these problems be MORE or
LESS common if regulation were reduced ?

QED, yourself ;-)

In a perfect world, there would be very little regulation but massive and
swift intervention when something goes wrong.

That is, governments should exist to enforce freely-entered contracts, not
write them or establish clauses. And enforce the contracts with an iron
hand. In the instant case there is an implied contract that the drillers of
oil will not cause harm to anyone due to the company's negligence.
