And we can encourage safe driving by removing airbags and seatbelts, and 
installing big shiny sharp metal spikes on the steering wheel, and 
executing anybody who has an accident and survives.

Code CANNOT explain "why" - there simply is no way to encode that into 
the source EXCEPT comments. The solution is to review code and to reject 
patches that contain "Fixme - this is busted" without a more detailed 
explanation.
