This is a funny illustration of the Cobra effect [1]. It's not obvious that people not writing the software can contribute to the problem, but I suppose this program will test the hypothesis.

Paying the townspeople to let the company know about bugs would not obviously (to me) lead to more bugs being created (except in contrived scenarios that involve collusion). 1 = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobra_effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobra_effect
