Correctness as defined by Boeing? Or another definition?
"The Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) is a flight stabilizing [software] feature developed by Boeing that became notorious for its role in two fatal accidents of the 737 MAX in 2018 and 2019, which killed all 346 passengers and crew among both flights."
"The Boeing Orbital Flight Test (OFT) was an uncrewed orbital flight test launched on December 20, 2019, but after deployment, an [incorrect] 11-hour offset in the mission clock of Starliner caused the spacecraft to compute that "it was in an orbital insertion burn", when it was not. This caused the attitude control thrusters to consume more fuel than planned, precluding a docking with the International Space Station.[79][80]"
