I was complaining to some of the power designers during the building of a major facility that the EPO button represented a single point of failure, and effectively made all of the redundancy built into the power system useless. After all, what's the point of having two (or more) of anything, if there's one button somewhere that turns it all off?
If the EPO cuts power to the whole facility, it didn't fail, it worked perfectly. The failure is actually Slappy the EPO button-pusher.
