Yes replication:

Oops we got hacked. I wonder what happens if we write insecure code again.

Oops we missed a deadline. I wonder what happens if we underestimate again.

When did software estimates ever factor into deadlines? I have always found that my estimates + a bit of padding are generally correct. Then management just picks an arbitrary due date that has nothing to do with programmer estimates.

It isn't difficult to find non-software projects that overshot deadlines by years and costs by tens of millions or more, just to still have a leaky roof. Including, whether you believe it or not, engineering work.
