We don't have a way to safely run a given executable without unknown and unknowable side effects. We're nowhere near understanding computers well enough to engineer them. Until we make computers as safe and reliable as household wiring, in terms of fault conditions, it doesn't make sense to require knowing the "state of the art", as it's all still guesswork.
