That's nonsensical. An engineering project does not require a provenance chain of engineers all the way down with a really low level engineer certifying that every single grain that went into the concrete was hand sorted by herself. At some point you certify something by taking measurements and tolerances and deliver a safe operating range. There's no reason why an operating system or programming language couldn't live below that level.
