Is it all or nothing though?

Those on either side choose which parts they feel best make their case, and present them. Normally it's those on one side that get told they're wrong because...

Lets not the forget the unsinkable Titan, the largest passenger vessel of it's day. Sank on it's maiden voyage.

This a few years before the Titanic sailed.
