At a recent computer software engineering course in the US, the
participants were given an awkward question to answer:

        "If you had just boarded an airliner and discovered that your
        team of programmers had been responsible for the flight control
        software, how many of you would disembark immediately?"

Among the ensuing forest of raised hands only one man sat motionless.
When asked what he would do, he replied that he would be quite
content to stay on board. With his team's software, he reasoned, the
plane was unlikely to even taxi as far as the runway, let alone
take off.
