If that was true of the Titanic, it was true of every other passenger liner of the time. Inadequate watertight subdivision and not enough lifeboats certainly weren't problems unique to the Titanic. Also, between 1873 and 1912 only four people had died in accidents involving North Atlantic liners, so it's not hard to imagine that folks had become complacent.
