The _equations_ are cold as ice, and will ever be. But _humans_ can be
warm, and design adequate safety margins into their systems; which
they usually do, when it is at all possible for them to afford doing
so.

The operative word above is "usually". Sometimes, there are those who decide that the margin for safety is just too high and too expensive and the margin is reduced. Sometimes reduced to zero. And it is rarely the engineers who do this.
