... and yes, I was aware you were on this list David, and apparently writing
about your excellent Diverse Double-Compiling work just as I was writing the
above :-) Nevertheless my point stands I think, that none of the approaches I
listed address the fundamental trust problem. And we certainly don't see good
solutions being adopted to the issues of unbounded complexity, or why it takes
a stack multiple millions of lines of lines of code high to present me with a
dialogue box that says "Hello". These are human problems, not really technical ones.
