As an outsider from the hardware world, I find it astounding that it's possible to fix the behaviour a CPU instruction by changing code. (assuming I understand correctly)

In my mind a CPU instruction is hardwired on the chip, and it blows my mind that we keep finding workarounds to already released hardware.

Maybe someone could dumb that down for me?
