I thought this meant insects and that reminded me of a favorite paper with the subtitle "A bird in the hand is worth log n in the bush" https://arxiv.org/abs/15

I thought this meant insects and that reminded me of a favorite paper with the subtitle "A bird in the hand is worth log n in the bush" https://arxiv.org/abs/1511.07428 https://arxiv.org/abs/1511.07428 In this different problem (estimating the number of species you have yet to encounter based off the number of individuals from that species you have observed so far), the cute answer is that you're "done" finding new species when you have found at least two individuals from each species. Would this generalize to software bugs by saying that at least two testers had found each bug in order to assume that the software was bug-free?
