It is a category error to apply the adjective “broken” to a complex system. Complicated systems break. Complex systems merely enter hostile configurations relative to you. They’re not fixed by your functional expectations. They’re still working. Just not for you.

It may provide legalistic solace to note that, but there’s a real difference between a car that’s broken by losing a wheel, versus one that’s simply been taken over by a different driver who’s going somewhere else.
