It is a gross oversimplification to say "the o-rings failed." The people in the system also failed, miserably. Feynman put it this way: "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled."

It is a gross misrepresentation of my post to imply I'm implicating nature and not man for the o-ring failure. Clearly it was a design flaw.

If it isn't a misrepresentation to imply that you think the Challenger disaster was caused by "a design flaw," I think that explanation is also oversimplified (incomplete, if you prefer). You are missing the point of the Feynman quote. I see little reason to take offense.
