So we fix it. By bugging out we don't fix it, IMHO.

No... we mostly see it as too late. The ship has hit the iceberg, it's taking on water, the boilers have stopped and it's sinking fast. Let's get in the lifeboats, not rearrange the deck chairs! There's no turning the Titanic now.

Actually, that's a bad metaphor, since trying to turn the ship actually caused a great deal more damage than would have occured had they hit the iceberg head on. In fact, the Titanic probably wouldn't have sunk if they hadn't tried to turn her. But that's not important.
