An aircraft engine could be highly complex, but the flight times can be estimated. Complexity is not issue. Reproducibility, and similarity is missing. Every coding work became an adventure into unknown landscape, with no trekking map.

And that cavalier attitude to complexity is literally the cause of so many issues with software engineering. An aircraft engine is almost simple compared to a multimillion line codebase.
