 \item Possibility to miss the effects of failure modes at SYSTEM level.
+\item Component failure modes are tied to one SYSTEM level error.
 \item The $\beta$ factor is based on heuristics and does not reflect any rigourous calculations.
 \item The $\alpha$ factor is based on heuristics or general data, and may not to specific to the environmental or operational conditions
 under which the equipment is operating.
