Your physics example is not a good analogy, because your critique of the simulation is not that the hypothetical didn't use enough physics, but instead you point out a number of very specific physical attributes that were missing, and you would have been able to explain the effect each of those attributes would have on the simulation. This is evidence and reason based argument. This is NOT like the argument you used for object oriented programming.

The possibility of programmer error is not a valid argument against using a programming language, just as a person being unskilled at spelling is not a valid reason to criticize English, Mandarin, French, etc.
