Let me repeat: There was no programming error. The software was correct  
for the Ariane 4. If at all it was a deployment or management error in  
installing Ariane 4 software on the Ariane 5.

If you load 5 metric tons onto a pick up designed for a 300kg load then it  
is *NOT* the suspensions fault that the under vehicle kisses the ground  
and the vehicle won't move metre any more. And the suspensions engineers  
did not “guaranteed failure of the mission” but the idiot you ordered the  
cargo to be deployed.
