I expected her to conclude by saying something like "and that's why complex systems fail." Did she ever explain that?

If you listen to the whole video, yes she did. It's also in the description of the video.

so much white noise and so tiny talk voice. I wish my iPhone X could turn up volume enough to hear the voice.
