Suppose the team is experienced in Ada
but not in C.  They are not accustomed
to the kind of disasters C creates and
may not see them in the code.

A direct translation to Ada will reveal
some bugs at compile time.  And the developers
are looking at a language they can read
when they fix those bugs.

Other bugs will appear as the developers
improve things in the process of working
on the code.
