#173847 - you do not know Murphy was an optimist?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
what if D-day just happened to be the one day that it did not work...?!
Well that will be an exception, though it depends on what's the odds of the bug showing up on the particular day.

you do not know Murphy was an optimist?

You keep defending faulty code, and that is is produced by "a lazy student" WHY???

Consider this: if a project vendor offers a student a great & impressive project but tells him that it works only 99% of time & demonstrates to him, (say, hypothetically) 1000 times, of which almost 990 times it works, would he just sit down & start debugging it
no, if he has any smarts, he would reject the offer.
