the OP posted a philosophical question to which i can only commend ...'philosophically'

i can not introduce 'technological' views - such as those mentioned by you -
as philosophy and technology do not blend.

in my early years in aviation a friend, a Captain, told me once 'you cant possibly provide for every eventuality' to which i will add 'conceivable'

Why should the computer have to be perfect?
if it is 'not perfect' then who needs it ?

if it is 'near perfect' how you ensure that it 'adapts' to 'dynamic environmental changes' when those changes can not be ...'conceived' and thus predicted.

'bookies' make a living out of this very fact. 'non-predictability'

I mean it is a question of a human 'Vne' that will to 'exceed its own limitations' . With all technology available to military, why they still use human pilots ? even their drones have 'pilots'.
