Hi Jim,
>I really am always amazed when software errors are so wilfully tolerated when errors in virtually any other kind product are definitely not tolerated. My guess is that it is
us, the developers, who are the primary proponents for this stand and it likely has much to do with our own needs to have ass-cover for our own problems.
Surely you have evidence that the errors which precipitated our quick fix were willfully tolerated? I don't like the implication that we know of major bugs when the product is released and release it anyway. It's just not true.
There is no such thing as the zero-bug piece of software. Some bugs are just easier to find than others.
