It was urgent that this problem be solved not only because of the terrible financial cost of bad software, but because bad software was/is warping our concept of good and bad. Consider that on one prevalent platform software failure is so common that there's a term for it: "The Blue Screen of Death." Not only is this specific condition of failure named, but when users see the blue screen they presume they did something wrong (or that something is wrong with the computer), rather than recognizing that it is mostly likely the result of bad software.
