You don't understand software. You have the source, and then you go read it to understand the little slice you want to understand. Then you forget it and move on unless you have to understand that part again and again. Then you might remember that little piece :) that's it.

Well put. You state the problem very concisely!

We don't understand computer systems. Like you said, We won't even understand software.

What we understand is a small slice of it and we make mistakes even with that. Or fail to consider some cases or scenarios.

Then we put those small slices together to form a module and make the same mistakes again.
