At a recent computer software engineering course, the
participants were given an awkward question to answer:

"If you had just boarded an airliner and discovered that
your team of programmers had been responsible for the
flight control software, how many of you would disembark
immediately?"

Among the ensuing forest of raised hands only one man sat
motionless. When asked what he would do, he replied that
he would be quite content to stay aboard.  With his team's
software, he said, the plane was unlikely to even taxi as
far as the runway, let alone take off.
