Get a 10-foot 4X4 piece of lumber. Drop it flat on the ground. Walk from one end to the other like a balance beam. I'll bet you can do it. I'll bet you can do it blindfolded, walking backward. I'll bet you can do it reciting the alphabet backward. I'll bet you could do it drunk.
Take that same 4X4, suspend it 20 stories in the air between a couple of cranes. Put a bunch of razor sharp, rotating propellers on the ground beneath it. Intersperse the propellers with oil drillbits pointed up, not down for once. Have a bunch of trained turkey vultures flying around to watch you fall. Take your wife, kids and your momma, put a gun in their mouths while the Joker cackles that when you fall, he's gonna blow their heads off. Bring in the television cameras and monitors so the whole World can watch and you can watch them watch. Have some intern read the tweets and comments sections about your plight over the loudspeakers.
Now, there are a few ice-blooded "Licensed to Kill" Double-O men who could keep it together and walk that beam under that kind of pressure. Mary Lou Retton and Nadia could, no doubt. I seriously doubt I could.
Is it a big deal to do a software upgrade under such tightly controlled conditions? Not really. But try doing that software upgrade when billions of dollars and your career is on the line, with the whole world watching. The guy who screws that up is gonna be a punchline and a byword for a few decades, a real Wilson if you've read that book.
Tell me there wouldn't be maybe one or two drops of sweat on the keyboard...
