Rule T-17 covers "Stuff Happens" as follows:
<T17> If, in the judgment of the Head Referee, an “ARENA fault” occurs that affects either the play or the outcome of the MATCH, the MATCH will be replayed. Example ARENA faults include broken field elements, power failure to a portion of the field, improper activation of the field control system, errors by field personnel, etc.

We have all seen instances where the towers should have triggered, but didn't. As humans we are not perfect, but it's obvious that the tower mechanisms and/or software are not perfect either. It is a shame that Update #18 pretends that they are.
