I believe that there are many reasons for redundancy and the potential for
a poorly designed system is one of them.


If we assume a bug that causes a G1000 to fail due to bad data coming from
a sensor, for example, then it doesn't matter if we've a dozen G1000s in
the airplane. Dealing with bad design requires diversity as well as
redundancy.

I'd prefer redundancy at both the sensor and instrument level if I was
flying IFR across the pond.
