Excellent example of a "bug" as something that enters your product
from outside. We find the same kind of "bug" in the form of cosmic
radiation in satellites. This is a correct use of "bug." What
programmers usually call a "bug" is a defect due to some mistake.
That "bug" was created by us through ommission or commission.
