That sounds dangerously close to internalizing and making excuses for unreliable software rather than engineering better systems that work even in the crazy imperfect world, duct taping and RPS to the side of a machine is in addition to not a replacement for making it work right in the first place.

It might sound close, but it isn't. :)

I don't think what you are saying are actually separate tasks. All software has bugs.

Sure all software has bugs but the risk and impact are not equally distributed.
