You misunderstood my meaning. Planes prepare for, I guess what I'd call individual component type failures, so the flight as a whole doesn't fail. They do not accept a 1% chance of failure. The plane stays grounded and doesn't leave the gate.
Startups on the other hand, (normally) must accept some risk of failure in order to have any chance of success.
