The basis of this idea is grounded on fantasy.

You understand that one wrong byte means that the program crashes? Why use a tool that is totally probabilistic to generate assembly directly which must be correct?

You are right that this is an error prone process, but as these tools are used now, are much like how compilers were used in the past. It is, after all, another layer of abstraction.

Is it foolproof? No. I do think the idea had some merit, though.
