I agree with Steve Cohen, and would add this: Think about how large some of these programs are. All that code has to be written and assembled. I don’t even know what goes on when programming code is compiled, but I do know from taking a couple of basic programming courses that every single action needs several lines of code to make it happen. How many possible actions and combinations of actions are there in a program like ADM? Thousands? And they all have to be put together with careful logic. I can’t even imagine what complex logic goes into a program like ADM… and then think about a program like Word or OneNote, which are 10 or 20 times as large as ADM.

I think it is miraculous that these programs don’t have more bugs than they inevitably do.
