is Eliezer right in thinking that if we get just one piece wrong the whole endeavor is worthless?

To clarify, the linked post by Eliezer actually says the following:

Value isn't just complicated, it's fragile. There is more than one dimension of human value, where if just that one thing is lost, the Future becomes null. A single blow and all value shatters. Not every single blow will shatter all value - but more than one possible "single blow" will do so.

Thank you for pointing this out; I've apparently lost the ability to read. Post edited.
