What is the utility of this sense of "bug"? If not all bugs can be fixed it seems better to toss the entire concept of a "bug" out the window as no longer useful for describing the behavior of software.
What is utility of any other sense? I expect null pointer to happen. It is still a bug. Even if it is in some kind of special situation we dont have time to fix.

Then those are bugs you cant fix. It is just lying to yourself to call them not a bug ... if they are bugs.
