If it was easy to find deliberate flaws, it would be
even easier to find accidental flaws.

And since we still find horrible and extremely
straightforward flaws, flaws that are in retrospect
glaringly obvious and exactly the things that one should
look for, in systems that have been out for many years,
it is not easy to find accidental flaws.
