Does code work if it's 97% correct?

It's not okay if claims are totally made up 1/30 times

Of course people aren't always correct either, but we're able to operate on levels of confidence. We're also able to weight others' statements as more or less likely to be correct based on what we know about them

Of course it does. The vast majority of software has bugs. Yes, even critical one like compilers and operating systems.
