Oh.

I think instead of manning the OP, I'll stick around the launch
complex next time, and participate more in the discussions.  I would
have needed some serious convincing to approve a flight with no
redundancy in the recovery system.

From another perspective, this is an example of the
redundancy/complexity tradeoff.  Our redundant system introduced a
problem, which we worked around by disabling the redundant system.

A smart decision if we *had* to launch...  Did we have to launch?
Well, we got away with it.  Let's figure out what happened, fix it,
and fly again.
