The first section of Nancy Leveson's Engineering a Safer World ([1] is 
draft, but the final published work is not materially different) 
provides a whole series of examples and reasoning, leading to a 
refutation of prior assumptions, and a set of defensible new ones.

Since the original work was started nearly two decades ago, and has led 
to a series of research projects and adoption by leafing practitioners 
in multiple industries.
