> A software error needs to be calculated for. This is technical reality that cannot be changed as of today. Of course that also implicates other industries like banking. The problem is that, unlike forensic analyses and other scientific methods, the likelihood and nature of software errors is totally unpredictable. Most regular people would expect an accounting software to maybe have UI bugs, or being occasionally unavailable, or any other number of annoying, but ultimately insignificant issues. They wouldn't expect it to mess up accounting. Software is only "eating the world" because people trust its usefulness. At some point I wonder if we as an industry are not about to teach the world that software is not to be trusted, at least not for high-stakes situations. This is not the only example, think also about e.g. the Equifax security breach or the Boeing 737 Max disaster.
