There is a very old saying "gabage in garbage out" and it definitely applies to computer programs. Code is written based on a use case and if that is not done properly then even a good coder's programs will fail to work properly.

There is a very old saying "gabage in garbage out" and it definitely applies to computer programs. Code is written based on a use case and if that is not done properly then even a good coder's programs will fail to work properly. We see that in spades with the Tesla cars that go off the road and in to a building or parked vehicle. We saw that with the failures of the software engineers at Boeing with the 737 Max jets that killed hundreds when the programming took away control from the pilots.
We have very young people doing much of the programming and they do not know what they do not know and all the large companies have replaced very experienced senior programmers with kids recently graduated from college and having no real world experience. Would you trust a heart surgeon with no experience and days on the job? Well that is what we now have in companies where the senior engineers have been let go to reduce costs and increase management bonuses.
There are people who believe anything they read in print and others that trust without reserve the output from a computer program. If the computer program says I should be taking statins then it must be true and this absolves the physician pill pusher as it is the "computer" that is making the decision.
The foolishnish though is in trusting any source from a social media platform. One might as well rely on a car salesman's advice on purchasing a new car. When hundreds of clueless individuals repeat statements it does not increase the veracity of those statements, but 99% of participants think that it does.
What is sadly lacking is critical thinking and this is a failure on the part of lazy individuals and poor teachers in the schools. Teaching "fasts" to memorize and not how to think in a critical manner about those bits of information is the key problem with our society today and why men and women continue to vote for politicians that have their heads and soulds deep in the pockets of the elites.
