Hardware and business process would also need review. Its no good having perfect code if you can insert the wrong sample. It's also no good having perfect code if a well-timed EMI burst or power level shift games the result.

Definitely. There was even a documentary about it on Netflix about how crimelab technicians were pushed for results rather than accuracy. A couple major scandals involved intentional faking of tests and resulting in countless people going to prison and the judicial consequences it caused as well as the friction involved to seek justice. Like, oh no, all these people convicted for life on flimsy grounds is such a burden of our time.

I would have said that too before starting a hardware company. Now, I'm not so sure.
