It isn't that big an assumption given how the engineering responses to incidents include incorporating those incidents into their simulated testing processes.
The point is that the understanding of the problem space increases with each incident. This doesn't mean that regressions are impossible (they are probably inevitable), but each regression also increases understanding of the problem space.
That's the mother of all assumptions. They might get worse as a result of the engineering response. You are assuming that there is a perfect understanding of the problem space. There isn't. This is not a 'mere matter of engineering' at this stage.
