> Correctness is the destination of any piece of software
"Good enough" is the destination of any piece of software. Sometimes that means correct, but more often it means "oh yeah, sometimes it starts acting funny, just restart it when that happens"
> Not to mention that 100% correctness is even impossible.
In which case please consider that everyone here is using "correctness" to mean "correctness that is achievable by reasonable human effort". :P It's easy to win any argument by taking one side to its logical extreme and asserting that it is therefore impossible, but that doesn't create a useful discussion. By the same logic we could assert that 100% simplicity is impossible, but that would be just as silly.
They said "destination" being correct, with me interpreting "destination" in the sense of "goal." My point was that some software has the goal of being 100% correct, but most software does not.
"Good enough" is the destination of any piece of software. Sometimes that means correct, but more often it means "oh yeah, sometimes it starts acting funny, just restart it when that happens"
