 ===== Brittleness =====
-ISAs that are practically used are generally //brittle//. This means that if a random bit flips in an instruction, the results will likely be catastrophic (for the execution of the program, that is). Although this isn't a purposeful choice on the parts of the designers of these ISAs, it isn't necessarily a bad thing. Consider, for example, an ATM. if a "cosmic ray" hits the CPU, and an instruction has a bit flip, we (or, at least, the bankers) don't want it to continue running as if nothing had happened, as this could lead to a loss of money. Instead, they would rather the program fail, and just be rebooted.

 Brittleness is caused by two main factors.
