Is it possible that this bug was deliberately planted? Sure. Is it equally likely that this bug was deliberately planted as it is that the bug was a mistake? I say no, Occam's razor being the main reason for making that distinction.

- sitkack 13y agoNot that a link to wikipedia is even a complete sentence but having the most huffman compressible answer doesn't make it the correct one. From the wikipedia entry on Occam's Razor. > In the scientific method, Occam's Razor is not considered an irrefutable principle of logic or a scientific result.
