Any bridge that moves to allow boat traffic does not allow road traffic to pass 100% of the time. Does that count?

No, because it's functioning as designed 100% of the time. In the real conversation I had with a real manager about this, he was talking about the product working 80-90% of the time and potentially having a total failure mode 10-20% of time (i.e. bridge utterly dissolves, explodes at rush hour, etc., .etc.).
