Sure, but this is literally the essence of failure analysis. Because you're demonstrating how nuance is essential to the process and how this means that there are no universal concepts. That simplicity and generalizability are often in contention. I'm not at why people don't understand that nuance is important because if it wasn't we wouldn't need experts. It's also weird to see people thinking nuance is required in their domain (explicitly or implicitly by means of assuming everyone else is an idiot for not understanding what they obtained through years of education. Yes I see the irony) but don't think it's required for other areas. Look at any online discussion here involving climate, nuclear, rockets, aerospace, and many other non programming stuff. Your example might also demonstrate this because the failure analysis is considerate of this by having a combination of fail open and fail closed gates in conjunction with the FBI not going to cut power to the bank until they arrive on scene which entirely defeats any terrorist or robber strategy because they the FBI are now the safe door and they're hard to pick open.
