Well, my answer to these types of questions is usually the same. Learn
from something that's been solving them for a few billion years: Evolution.
Robustness is almost always achieved through diversity. The more
different systems you have, the more likely that at least one of them
will survive conditions that will kill the others off. Monocultures are
inevitable deadly, sooner or later. Why do you think there are so damned
many species?
