It can be true. But it also shows that "working" is necessary but
insufficient for "good" (or even "decent"). Sadly, those looking in from
outside the industry cannot discern the difference. That is one reason
why so many have been burned by bad programming of one sort of another.

For example, something can work but be so fragile that it cannot withstand
any evolution of requirements (and therefore enhancement of the software).

This is why God invented Code Reviews.
