@aburka This Babbage quote seems relevant... And prescient... "On two occasions I have been asked, — 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' In one case a member of the Upper, and in the other a member of the Lower, House put this question. I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." -- Passages from the Life of a Philosopher (1864), ch. 5 "Difference Engine No. 1".
