I am not at all sympathetic to your world view. You're advocating that we make bad software on purpose. Not only that but you're advocating placing the burden of defects as an externality onto users. He's saying that good software available today for $X beats flawless software available in 3 years for $5X, and I agree even if X=0. With the obvious exceptions for scenarios where people will die if it goes wrong. This to me is unprofessional. We have the technology and skills to build reliable software, without significant additional cost. And for some reason every organization in the world declines to use this magic bullet.
