Imagine if software with large inherent risk was developed using formal methods, and the massive remainder of software was developed using rapid development methods. It's almost like there are different tools, and they can be applied to different jobs to cause improved outcomes based on the overlap between the tool's properties and the job's properties. What a radical concept!

Imagine if we could tell the difference between use-cases with large inherent risk and the massive remainder of use-cases and avoid using software designed for low-risk situations in high-risk applications.
