Statistically Indistinguishable from Perfect

I loved the last sentence from Amazon’s recent explanation for the S3 outage:
Though we’re proud of our operational performance in operating Amazon S3 for almost 2.5 years, we know that any downtime is unacceptable and we won’t be satisfied until performance is statistically indistinguishable from perfect.
