I thought you were making the comparison that a pentester is like a missile shot at a bridge whereas the internet is the army walking over the bridge.

Oh, I see. No, the missile is a hacker attacking your software remotely. Bridges are just accepted that they will collapse if deliberately attacked by a determined attacker. Software is held to a higher standard, not a lower one.
