The people behind this stuff aren't infallible. They are very good, very talented, but mistakes will be made.

I'm a software developer. I work with a live system that has about 3000 users. Our system isn't that complex but it works with a fair amount of data. It is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to change something without unintentionally affecting something else.

The irony is, the main reason for this is not the code itself, it's because of what freedoms the code gives to the end user. If the end user had a very defined set of instructions that it's allowed to do upon the system, it would be easy.

Now imagine a much more complex system with you people as the end user. I personally would have high blood pressure or had a stroke within a week of working at Bungie.
