Reading a bit about safety critical software I noticed a fundamental problem, namely, when software engineers lack physics education. Unbelievable errors come when programmers take for granted a too simple model of physical reality. Logic is not enough.

Unfortunately, there are in some places senior management who are in the same state of (lack of) expertise as Bertrand describes. That is a problem of professional qualification which I would prefer to treat as a separate issue.
