Sure; but thats the exact reason drug discovery is so difficult. If we understood the human body in its entirety like we understand computers, we could probably cure cancer & aging.
Our capacity to write correct software depends entirely on being able to build mental models of how the machine works. The deep stack of buggy crap that we just take for granted these days makes software development harder. The less understandable and the less deterministic our computers, the worse products we build. And the less effective craftsman we become.
