And then when something big happens, everybody and their dog starts screaming “how could this happen?!?”

You can’t have it both ways… (not specifically directed at you.)

I think it is quite reasonable to tell incompetents that they can't just cover their ass by claiming "you can't demand perfection".

These are the same kind of incompetents who want the pay but not the responsibility of the position. Who think that building a giant haystack of all of the data is the solution so they can illogically claim to have prevented something that because you had that needle in there somewhere! Except you never found it in time because you were too busy building the tower of Babel out of hay! It is just utterly idiotic double-think. (Cough, cough NSA!)
