Just to give an example of an in-browser crash, the other day I opened
a 4-years old pdf of a random company and it made chromium's pdf
plugin crash.
No problem opening it with pdf.js under firefox or poppler.

Apparently it wasn't clear enough to some people the intention of the
example I gave (which is obviously flawed as a comparative argument).

It was a way to say: bugs do exist on an code base, even on scenarios
that were not specifically setup to try to identify them, such as when
fuzzing.
