Abstract
It is proved that the reliable computation of any Boolean function with, sensitivity s requires Omega (s log s) gates if the gates of the circuit fail independently with a fixed positive probability. The Omega (s log s) bound holds even if s is the block sensitivity instead of the sensitivity of the Boolean function. Some open problems are mentioned.<>
