Sure, but there will still be bugs. We might have to figure out what a bug is semantically on the next layer of abstraction as we are developing it (and have the capacity to formally describe it), but there will be opinions, and thus there will be bugs.

Of course. In the end, we don't even have a perfect understanding of the physics on which digital technology is built. Nonetheless, we can evidently do much better than we do today, and delegate more of the hard work to our robotic slaves.

I think a wise person would hesitate at judging a task hard or easy.
