    How is labeling fault points fault points victim blaming you do realize when people talk about how something fails they typically use the term fault points to refer points where something was faulty like a worn tire being the reason a car crashed

      The phrasing was “you get fault points for” which strongly suggests assigning fault rather than listing out “points at fault”.

      Also I think the term would be “points of failure” for the way you read it. At least that’s howbive heard it used and used it myself.

      Most people aren’t engineers, it read different to me. Especially when it’s used like “you get fault points for” it sounds more personal than saying “the fault points were”. It sounds a lot like saying someone is at “fault” to someone who hasn’t heard of “fault points” before
