I totally agree with you. In fact, some branches of software engineering do have equally high standards as other engineering fields. If you write the software for a medical device or an airplane, you better make sure it doesn't have any critical bugs, otherwise people will die. If you write audio software for professional musicians, you better make sure that it doesn't have any critical bugs, so you don't ruin a live show. I think people claiming that nobody can write bug free code and you shouldn't even try simply work in environments where failures don't cause irreversible harm.
