How exactly is it possible to get every math, test, and scientific mumbo jumbo done perfectly, yet somehow wind up screwing up the whole thing by some jackass pumping too much power into it? Did nobody checked that one guy at all during the whole process or double check each other? And I'm guessing that getting anywhere near that giant white ball will kill you, right?
Remember that million dollar space projects have failed over hilariously trivial stuff. Sensor installed upside down. Programmers failing to consider metric-imperial conversion. Engineers forgetting to account for zero-gee warping of materials. Crew just knocking over the priceless payload before launch. And even more failures where the cause isn't obvious.
People don't get smarter about it as tech advances, it's only the mistakes that get more spectacular :P

Yeppers. Good on you for recognising the reference or looking it up! But singularity ≠ black hole. Singularities are a class of phenomena of which black holes are but one subclass. At the axis of the infinite seventh chamber, it looks superficially like a mirrored cylinder... but not, on closer inspection. A perceptual discontinuity.
