My application is a code beautifier that receives code samples as input. I cannot know of every possible combination of code samples. This does not necessarily mean the application is defective. A defective state is unwanted output.
Another way to think about this is that the more open a system is the more useful and risky it is. It is useful because it can do more while tolerating less terse requirements upon the user. It increases risk because there is more to test and less certainty the user will get what they want. Part of that risk is that its hard to guess at what users want as sometimes the users aren't even sure of what they want.
