This is a simple question. The answer is not simple. There are a number of investigations that have not been completed, including a National Commission that includes many of the countries top scientists and engineers.
As we learn more about potential contributing factors leading to the BP oil spill, there will be efforts to be sure these errors are not repeated. The contributing factors include (1) the failure of the cement job to seal the reservoir from the production casing, (2) the failure of the rig crew and well leaders to identify that there was a problem with well integrity during the negative test, and (3) the failure of the blow out preventers from sealing in the well.
So, while the investigations are still incomplete, it does seem to indicate that better design and human judgments could have lowered the chance of an accident.
