    OceanGate’s Titan, Stockton Rush deviated from the norms of deep water submersibles

    They reused a vehicle with a broken hull 9 times, that’s not deviating from the norms it’s fucking inanity.

        You’re reaching with that word. If I slipped, fell, and cracked my head open you wouldn’t say I deviated from the norms of standing.

          Ofcourse I am, that is my point, norms are subjective regarding your example it is a technicallity but you could absolutely argue that a guy slipping and falling is deviating from the norms of standing.
