You seem to be confused, obviously it won't work 100% of the time due to shear probability, it's not physically linked up so there will always be a possibility of one or both pilots ignoring every possible warning, shaking, vibration, mild pushback, etc... regardless of how well they've been trained on detecting these.

Whether it works the vast majority of the time, in practical situations, remains to be seen. Confusing a known, physically guaranteed, aspect of a system with an estimated likelihood of actual system performance is a common mistake.

Even with the most ideal deployment scenario, assuming it does get widely deployed one day, the real world performance reliability will likely not get anywhere near six sigma, let alone 100%.
