Could be... Or else lot of other people are not actually writing the 
programs, and only get to see them after they have been debugged.

I do know that some programs, like operating systems, which people do 
use (I hope) still are fixing bugs, even though the software is more 
tested than most other things, and billions of people depend on it.
