What? Are you saying that me literally sleeping until an impossible thing happens is too high a bar? I should say so!
I probably meant it figuratively, huh? What I am saying after having keynoted at a Microsoft formal methods conference (as a critic) and after playing with TLS+ (which was educational) is that formal verification will make little impact on commercial systems because such systems are obliged to be built with inherently buggy components.
I am happy to acknowledge that progress is happening, yet the ultimate source of trouble is human ambition and impatience. How do you solve that?
