I read it as that’s also the point. Adding formal verification is not a strict defense against bugs. It is in a way similar to having 100% test coverage and finding bugs in your untested edge cases. I don’t think the author is attempting to decry formal verification, but I think it a good message in the article everyone should keep in mind that safety is a larger, whole system process and bugs live in the cracks and interfaces.

You're right. It just seems as though it should be self-evident. Especially to those sophisticated enough to understand and employ formal verification.

  It does seem that way doesn't it? But as software bugs are becoming easier to find and exploit, I'm expecting more and more people, including those not "sophisticated enough" to understand and employ formal verification to start using it

    > I'm expecting more and more people Then it would help to not introduce any confusion into the ecosystem by using a click-baity title that implies you found a bug which violated the formal specification.

      We should not cater to people who make decisions based on titles instead of reading the actual article.

        That's a shitty rationale for click-bait titles. Good titles are for the benefit of people who actually read the articles too.
