I could do without them, ordinarily; but the more pessimistic older I get the more I see the use in becoming accustomed to the idea that Things Work is a privileged state and Things Go Wrong to be expected.

I manage that attitude sometimes, usually in matters relating to work and with respect to data arriving on time.
