The engineer's argument can most reasonably be interpreted as invoking which one of the following principles?
Conditions that create a feeling of security also encourage risk taking.
Problems created by humans require human-created solutions.
Technical fixes are inevitably temporary.
Technical fixes cannot discourage risk-taking behavior.
The longer a problem goes unresolved, the worse it becomes.
