> Humans don't even have a 99.99% success rate in breathing

Will you please elaborate a little on this?



Humans cough or otherwise have to clear their airways about 1 in every 1,000 breaths, which is a 99.9% success rate.


Thank you for following up


That’s quite good given the complexity and fragility of the system and the chaotic nature of the environment.
