There is always "what if's" when it comes to things like this. If they did miss the iceberg, or didn't sink, would more people have died due to some of the problems brought to light by the Titanic?

Look at what changed,

Enough life boats for all passangers, and over time better lifeboats

Radio's manned 24/7, with a standard for emergancy comunication.

Iceberg warnings and ice patrols

The creation of International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), which came into being because of the Titanic, this has helped save many thousands of lives.
