This is how I like to think that people who design software for weapons systems live.

Really?

I've written guidance code. A missile that doesn't go where you point it is a deadweight loss; while it might be best if they weren't fired at all, it's better they hit their intended targets than random (probably civilian) victims.

Absolutely, but If no one could reliably aim their bombs, would they fire them?
Probably. The V2s couldn't hit a smaller target than "London", so that's where they fired them.
