re: #104 Charles

Another point — bugs get fixed because they get noticed.

Bugs that don’t get noticed can live on in code for a long time, before the particular combination of events that triggers a problem result, and gets them noticed.

The fact that bugs existed in the code is absolutely NOT proof that any inaccurate data was produced or used in any situation. These bugs may not have caused any ill effects — because if they had, the chances are that the scientists who used the program would have noticed, and then the bug would have been fixed.

I work around programmers all day…
That is a righteous statement Charles..
That is exactly right…No BS…
That is exactly how programming is approached….
