And if we do that then the state of software would grind to a halt, because there is no software that is completely bug-free.[1]
Like it or not, the market has spoken on what it considers acceptable risk for general software. Software where human lives are at risk is already highly regulated, which is why so few human lives are lost to bugs, compared to lives lost to other engineering defects.
