"bleeding edge" may also be unproven and more importantly it is not standardised. This is why people would muse that they trust a civil engineer over a software engineer - sectors that include physical engineering have rigorous standards. Software projects that interface with this (say, a flight computer of a new jet) also have strict standards. Ones that do not (currently) cover the "bleeding edge" in software development.
