The problem isn’t the ISA (Instruction Set Architecture), it’s the high-level languages and how programmers refuse to write software that handles exceptions and errors. You can always write code that performs in a sunny-day scenario, but what will your code do if any part of the system you depend upon generates any unexpected result? As the saying goes, if buildings were built the way programmers programmed, then the first woodpecker to come along would destroy civilization.

It’s a set of instructions which don’t change to hardware that doesn’t change and therefor should do the exact same thing every time it is executed. But sometimes it doesn’t.
Such is the stuff sci-fi nightmares are made of.
