We could, for instance, begin with cleaning up our language by no longer
calling a bug "a bug" but by calling it an error. It is much more honest
because it squarely puts the blame where it belongs, viz., with the
programmer who made the error. The animistic metaphor of the bug that
maliciously sneaked in while the programmer was not looking is
intellectually dishonest as it is a disguise that the error is the
programmer's own creation. The nice thing of this simple change of
vocabulary is that it has such a profound effect. While, before, a
program with only one bug used to be "almost correct," afterwards a
program with an error is just "wrong." - E. W. Dijkstra

Das ist nix besonderes, sondern das Ergebnis von Debugging.
