It's the Cassandra curse of computer scientists. Business people think they don't have time or resources for correctness, and end up forcing incorrect systems to be held by hand. Which, despite the high cost of this labor, is a decent trade-off because thanks to the internet business models have very low marginal cost per costumer. I think that the fact that Netflix has a very high marginal cost per costumer and actually hires very highly qualified programmers and pioneers systems designs illustrates my point.
