Absolutely!
...I think. But if not, I have a back-up answer...

It also means you know nothing is perfect, things can fail.
It's being extremely cautious.
And also knowing that external factors can sometimes undermine what was intended to be 100% (from your end).

There is almost no plan that will work 100% of the time and even having several backup plans may not have the outcome we want. Some things don't require a plan per se, as you can improvise and adjust to the situation and excessive planning won't take into account what actually happens.

Believing in something isn't enough to stop it from going to rat sh*t. Life happens, from time to time.
I like to have several contingency plans.

Plan A isn't ready until Plan B is written.

How about the "dumbing down" of BBC TV programming? |

i'm not entirely convinced about either
i mean they both seem extremely likely though
but you never know!
the first one in particular i like the idea of turning out to not be as certain as once thought |

Maybe... but I can also see how having a back-up plan is like a safety net that gives you more confidence while still using Plan A.
And sometimes it's not so much that people *have* a Plan B already in place as it is that they transition quickly and improvise quickly.
