That's the fundamental problem. We're building the machines to verify an internally consistent idea that we're all pretty pleased with. For example, type systems don't tell you that your data is true or correct, they just provide a framework of assumptions to work from that turn out to be really useful. Each type system will provide a different view on your data/process/etc.
