I read this last night and it was amazing. The shipbuilder is trying to do a major CYA, but it’s impossible to argue with the tests done on the rivets.

What the article does not address is that the Olympic, the sister ship of the Titanic, was built in the same yard of the same material. She survived two collisions, the First World War and remained in service until about 1936.

I think that the correct answer is that sailing at about 25 land miles per hour into an object of almost 30 or 40 times your mass (or larger) is always pretty much a bad idea.
