Unfortunately so, and a reason to be sceptical of supposedly
scientific results obtained numerically. Of course, if someone can not
program well in Fortran and tries to program in Ada, the results would
still be subject to suspicion.

True again. Some examples from news:comp.lang.fortran from June 2007
and July 2007 of problems related to using Fortran...
