I'm not sure if that's a good simile. I've found several compiler bugs in my time, and I proved that with assembly output from the compilers and I've received updated compilers from the vendor as a result of my reports.
I suspect that to find "bugs" in physical theories must be orders of magnitudes more unlikely.
