Pehr Hallberg There is no such thing as a complex software system without bugs in it. Combine this with filtering of the input, maybe errors in the input due to failures in the sensors and you may end up with a very strange response from the system.
From my experience. If I had to choose between two boxes doing the same thing:
1 A proven mechanical device
2 The latest computer controlled gadget in the market
and it was vital to me that the thing performed as advertised I would choose number 1.
I couldn't agree more.
