"You mean something like this?"

Even that's going to be shaky. See, with IT you're mostly dealing with virtual, non-physical things. There's always at least one degree of separation between IT and your life. In this case, faulty compilation, not a flaw in the code itself, was the primary problem. It could also be one of a hundred other things between the code and the life that proves the linchpin. Yet it has to be that DIRECT connection that will make people pay direct attention to the actual code enough to make it matter.
