So true, but complexity sells instead of correctness, so we have generation=
s of programmers which continue to write sloppy code instead doing the righ=
t thing, and always thinking whether the work would be liked by Tony Hoare =
or late Edsger W. Dijkstra. For program code to be correct, DO-178B/C isn't=
 needed, though following DO-178B/C results in correct program code.
