"If addition doesn't work, I have no way of reasoning about anything in a program."

Hardware addition is filled with edge cases that cause it to not work as expected; I don't see it as that much different from the memory safety edge cases in most programming models. So by corollary is there no way to reason about any program that uses hardware addition?
