Totally and utterly immaterial.

If it's a timing-related bug, as far as developers are concerned, nothing
they did introduced the problem.

So anybody who think s that "process" should have caught it is just being
stupid.

Adrian, you're one of the absolutely *worst* in the camp of "everything
should be perfect". You really need to realize that reality is messy, and
things cannot be pefect.

You also need to realize and *understand* that aiming for "good" is
actually much BETTER than trying to aim for "perfect".

Perfect is the enemy of good.
