  Programmers tend to be smart and try very hard to be logical and still
have an error rate of x/SLOC.  Mathematicians try *really* hard to create
logically correct proofs, yet a published result is still sometimes found
to be incorrect.  Is there any reason to believe that decision makers,
managers, military officers, politicians or any other group has a
substantially lower error rate?
