Yeah, but some abstractions are leakier than others. I have never hit a real-world voltage bug or conditional jump bug, as far as I remember.



Have you ever hit a bug in the implementation of immutable data? I haven't. (And I have seen a miscompiled loop, though I agree they're very rare).


Well, now that I think about it, I have seen a compiler bug in an IBM Java compiler where an if condition would never be hit, despite the code being fine and the Sun Java compiler working as expected.
