I would think making it look like something that _wasn't_ caused by a human would be even smarter.

Interesting. How would that work? Asking for a friend. :)

maybe something like a core switch rom failure due to too many writes, then an unplanned reboot at a critical time?

Something that could plausibly looks like an unintentional bug, but that's a lot harder to come up with.
