 This chapter examines FMEA in a critical light.
 The problems with the scope---or required reasoning distance---of detail to apply 
 for FMEA analysis, the difficulties of integrating software
-and hardware in FMEA failure models, and the impossibility of performing meaningful
+and hardware in FMEA failure models, and the near-impossibility of performing meaningful
 multiple failure analysis are examined.
 Additional problems such as the inability to easily re-use, and validate (through
 traceable reasoning) FMEA models is presented.
