>Bug free software is possible, ...

Mr. Turing and his halting problem would like to politely disagree with this assertion.

You misread the comment and DR Turing's paper.

Getting all possible software correct is impossible, clearly. Getting all the software you release is more possible because you can choose not to release the software that it is too hard to prove correct.

Not that the suggestion is practical or likely, but your assertion that it is impossible is incorrect.
