Measuring reliability should help engineers make better decisions—not simply generate an impressive MTBF or another test report. Chris and Fred explore how misleading metrics, late reliability demonstrations, and ever-expanding test programs can create the appearance of reliability engineering without actually making products more reliable. One organization accumulated 47 tests simply by adding another whenever a field problem occurred. The result was not better engineering, but designers learning to design for the tests. The episode argues for something more useful: measure what helps engineers prevent failures, make better design decisions, reduce development cost, and get reliable products to market faster.
