"It takes all kinds to make this world", or so the saying goes.
...Yes. But that doesn't mean what most would think it means. The charitable reading is "Everyone has something to contribute". The codicil that's often ignored is "...but most of those things are cautionary tales."
Society requires all its participants to have a given development floor, and the greatest barrier to a successful one is the failure to define and uphold the requirements for it. Finding and removing the extraneous and hazardous through research and experimentation is a task of near-endless repetition and research. Once the provably unnecessary or unacceptable is isolated and expunged, the accompanying data and evidence, the how and the why, are best archived in clear, open reference as examples of what is Wrong and how Not To Do It.
Just because they do exist doesn't mean they should. Mistakes worth dying over need to result in death. Clean the mess, mourn the dead if you must, but identify those errors and make sure no one makes them again.
That's what the legacy of the inadequate is supposed to be. Not coexistence, not comfort, and absolutely not continuation.
