It's very important to look at these kinds of issues from a systems perspective. Complex systems have unintended effects. You're not allowed to say "the code will just work after I hit compile". :) For instance, how sure are you that the government is spending your tax money wisely? How sure are you that a company you invest in isn't engaging in some form of corruption. When you raise the stakes to killing another human, and in peace-time, at that, you'd better be sure that mistakes are not just unlikely, but impossible. Of course, that's ... impossible.
