Systems working as designed (by humans.)
Reminds me of that Antares (edit: nope, it was the Ariane V) rocket that veered off and exploded because of an overflow. Something about casting between float/int. Although I don't think anyone died from that particular error, which also wasn't intended to hurt anyone.
But I mean, what do you say if you're in charge of something really expensive and it explodes unexpectedly? "Whoops - sorry, boss?" Or I guess in this case, "gurgle gurgle squelch."
