Humans are imperfect and messy.

Software fails.

But so do bridges and buildings. Even waste dumps.
So do big and small businesses.
So do government officials, armies, police forces, intelligent agencies, etc. Even entire countries.

The reasons are very seldom simple. Corruption, ignorance, mismanagement, sickness and others play a role.

Hindsight is great but it doesn't translate into foresight.

It isn't a matter of having no failures. Best one can hope for is that at least they will try to do better at least for a short time.
