Here's another one, catch!
If you're using TCP and losing packets you should be panicking though, because something is very wrong...
True, but TCP will just resend them, you won’t lose anything but some latency. Meaning it’s something to look into, but not something to panic about.
You can lose packets. Just cut the cable, but the other side will notice that the transmission is incomplete.
Shouldn't the engineer be a bit more worried if the cable's been cut?
If UDP drops packets it's probably nothing. If TCP drops packets it's because something's actually wrong.

Actually even a few dropped packets is too many in IT IMO lol
