This is same example as Lukas has, it cannot be used to justify
complexity. It's just logical fallacy, you can't say 'well NPU
software might break, then let's add this UDLD software, to cover that
problem'. Now you have two software's which can fail. Someone smarter
than me, might be able to prove this, or at least prove it's
essentially a halting problem.
