I don't see that I misunderstood anything. If a software developer consistently delivers high-quality software on time and on budget, that means they're good at their job, pretty much by definition. It would make no sense to infer they're bad at fixing bugs. It would make sense to infer instead that they're good at catching and fixing bugs prior to release, which is what we want from a software development process. > the driver who never misses a turn is a bad driver because he doesn't know what to do when he does miss a turn Missing a turn during a driving test will never improve your odds of passing. The driver who never misses a turn presumably has excellent awareness and will be well equipped to deal with a mistake should they make one. They also probably got that way by missing plenty of turns when they were less experienced.
