The really scare thought is that so called "beta testing" may happen in fairly unambiguous contexts, and the real problems will be discovered after wide scale deployment. As painful as it might be, it's straighforward to turn off a malfunctioning system that support a core business need. It is a whole new dimenssion to turn off a gizmo that gives you boneheaded interpretations of the law, but that comes with a preinstalled meta-rule that makes a felony to turn it off or tamper with it in any way. Imagine the amount of red tape required if each bug-fix required an executive order to be deployed!!!
