If management overrules developers there should also be a clear,
concise, legal way of assuming responsibility. I'm not blaming
developers; I'm saying they shouldn't be exempt from law (which they
aren't) but they should also be aware of that (which they aren't).

Same old, same old. Bugs of that type emerge when a module is used in
a way not compliant to its interface specification. There's still
someone to blame - the moron that didn't RTFM.

There's an easy explanation for that. Most of the time, software is
written to satisfy tests, particularly so in TDD. "Our software passes
the tests, because it was made to pass the tests. Ergo, it works." and
then they gasp in amazement at the first bugs.

And dozens of other factors that must be taken into account.
Carelessness leads to errors. Sometimes fatal ones.

I've already disclaimed that is neither my job, nor my interest.
That's why law officials, judges, law systems, etc. exist. But it's a
reality we have to educate ourselves about.
