We’re so unaccustomed to working with non-deterministic computer tech that rather than acknowledge they are hit-or-miss, everyone just picks one side and goes all-in on it.
Which sounds an awful lot like politics.

So for any known set of inputs, you want the output to be finite and non-zero, and all items having the correct properties.
