What about the unknown bugs that could lead to deaths? I guarantee that every modern aircraft has some. But we don't know how many.

I wouldn't include that since it wouldn't be useful. In any case it clearly wasn't included in whatever definition the top commenter intended.

You would be incentivizing them to not look very hard as finding a bug would ground the fleet and be extremely expensive. The same way a lawyer will tell you never to see if your violating a patent lest you pay treble damages for "knowing".
