I think it means that any crash, even if caused by the pilots fault, is seen as a fixable technical problem, either in automation, equipment, reliability, or pilot training.

We don't send all car drivers back to get their license if somebody crashes his car. We do try to "fix" the pilots if something like this happens.



Maybe a better term is "systems failure", where the pilot is part of the system.
