>> code that's only 95% right is just wrong,

> I know what you mean, but thinking about it critically, this is just wrong. All software has bugs in it. Small bugs, big bugs, critical bugs, security bugs, everything. No code is immune. The largest software used by millions every day has bugs. Library code that has existed and been in use for 30 years has bugs.

All software has bugs, but it's usually far better that "95% right." Code that's only 95% right probably wouldn't pass half-ass testing or a couple of days of actual use.
