All this fuss about Arianne 5.

Arianne 5 failed because of bad engineering decisions.  The choice
of Arianne 4 components, proven and tested, for Arianne 5 would have
been fine if they were both the same design.  They weren't.

Using the wrong component, however good that component might be, is
equivalent to a physician prescribing a perfectly good medication
to someone with a medical history for which it is contraindicated.
