> I would also argue that software (and the people that write it) have a "correctness" bias that is not fully aligned with business goals.

Hey, I resemble that remark!

Yeah, I get where you're coming from but i do really feel that it's more of a communication issue, along with the abstract nature of software. I mostly do data related stuff, and have often had the experience of finding "wrong" data that doesn't have a large impact, and every time I need to remind myself that it might not matter.

You can also see this in the over-valuation of dashboards vs data engineering. Stakeholders lurve dashboards but value the engineering of pipelines much less highly, even though you can't have dashboards without data.
