No, if you'll review my original missive on the subject, I said writing 
_GOOD_ software should be _ABSOLUTELY PARAMOUNT_.  PERFECT software is the 
impossible dream.  Only God is perfect and, having seen mankind, I'm not so 
sure about him/her ;-).  OTOH, I'll not stick an intentional bug in a program 
like some rug makers do in order not to offend God.  And yes, if a vendor 
didn't bother to write _GOOD_ software, they _SHOULD_ go broke trying to fix 
it...

JMHO,
