It is better for things to fail obviously, then to think they are not in a failing state.
When they fail obviously, it is hard to ignore, and often gets fixed.
When they are really being kept going by impossibly heroic efforts that are unsustainable, and so *appear* to not be in a failing state as a result, they rarely get fixed.
