hi all,

ok, i perfectly agree with some of the points you made concerning
inherent robustness etc etc etc.

but, a minimum requirement for any software is to test it under
sufficiently realistic conditions, isn't it ?   if the responsible
software engineers would have fed _simulated_ data containing some
information about the trajectory into their programs, they could
(would) have found the  bug, d'accord ?
sometimes experimental programming is not the worst choice ...
