So the courts finally agree that will software always contain
coding mistakes that can produce a fault.

Then what?

I suspect that only a few vendors are only to be able
to reliably produce statements like:
"We estimate this software will experience 10^(-x) faults
per hour of operation."

Will vendors be asked to produce the number of reported
faults every month for the last year, to give an indicator
of reliability?

Will software evidence always be assumed to be in error?
