@NanoRaptor are there pdfs or other readable forms of these documents?

@NanoRaptor @lieter there are, of the originals. For example, the one on systems failures (nasa-tn-6193) is actually about vanes, and can be found here:

@cowman @NanoRaptor @lieter if i understand correctly, some real documents have the same ID, as would be predictable for simple numbering schemes, but the document presented are fictional, sadly https://ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/19660024693 is not about the cognitive load of acronyms (but author attribution is correct, suggesting only the name was changed). And https://ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/19710010669 is not about systems never intended to work.
