Regardless of what I do, I expect the program to provide a response at the end. Like I said in response to another comment—if you want to “debug” my thinking process, absolutely fair enough; but provide the result. What you are doing, to carry on your analogy, is to say “hmm there may be a bug there. But I won’t tell you what the program will give as an output even if you fix it”.
Even worse, imagine your compsci professor asks you to write code to simulate objects falling from a skyscraper. What you are doing then here is telling me “aaah, but you are trying to simulate this using gravity! That is, of course, not a universal solution, so you should try relativity instead”.

I dont think that is literally true.

What is that supposed to be analogous to? Which ethics is uniquely picked out by your criteria? I dont think any are. I think there are obviously a countable infinity of consistent ethical systems.
If you have 1000 line programme that crashes because of a bug in one line, do you focus on the one line or the other 999?
