>Human engineers are not deterministic yet people pay them

Human carpenters are not deterministic yet they won't use a machine saw that goes off line even 1% of the time. The whole history of tools, including software, is one of trying to make the thing do more precisely what is intended, whether the intent is right or not.

Can you imagine some machine tool maker making something faulty and then saying, "Well hey, humans aren't deterministic."
