theword failure in this context is likely a poor extrapolation10 and is already falling out of favor11, 12.Yet another type of legendary engineering failure is to snatch victory from defeat by repurposinga “failed” design. The classic case studies for this mode (regardless of the accuracy of the tales)are Post-it Notes13 and Teflon™14.A final, and most pervasive type of failure described in engineering, has only one commonlegend. It is that of Thomas Edison who developed, as examples, an effective lightbulb and animproved battery15. In the case of the lightbulb, Edison did not invent the technology, but ratherrefined it through many iterations, eventually arriving at a model that met his designrequirements16. This process resulted in several
