If determination of functional correctness were extended from "must
operate as specified under expected conditions" to "must operate as

require security, safety, fault tolerance, and all those other good things
that make software dependable instead of just correct.

A much-too-late entry for the bumper sticker contest we had here a few
years back:

 "Works as you wish, under all condish."

(Okay, okay, so maybe that kind of abbreviating is a bit out of
style... by 70 years or so....)
