Ambiguity and a polysemy of any statement as a source of a possible error
From the point of view of the authors
of the regulation instructions for the Chernobyl nuclear reactor, personnel had
broken their requirements, whereas from the point of view of the personnel,
they operated precisely according to its requirements57. Regulations
required for operators to Òmuffle the reactor,Ó from the point of view of the
authors this was to be done immediately, but from the point of view of the
operators is was to be gradual. Another example is when there is an automatic
rescue system in a plane as well as a manual rescue system, and if they are
both executed simultaneously, they run into each other and lead to catastrophe
(nose-dive and crash of Aeroflot Flight 953 in 1994 in Siberia). It is
difficult to reach an unequivocal understanding of terms in cases where we do
not have experimental experience, as in global catastrophes.
