“Nature never "fails."”

Buckminster Fuller (1895–1983) American architect, systems theorist, author, designer, inventor and futurist

Nature complies with its own laws. Nature is the law. When Man lacks understanding of Nature's laws and a Man-contrived structure buckles unexpectedly, it does not fail. It only demonstrates that Man did not understand Nature's laws and behaviors. Nothing failed. Man's knowledge or estimating was inadequate.
