This reduction of everything to stochasticity is silly. Or, to put it differently: Do you accept a value with some error appearing in your bank account on salary day?

We have plenty of systems where complete accuracy is the only acceptable thing. Computers are great for such things. Until we all get caught up in a way of delusion and start writing those systems as natural prose passed through an improperly understood stochastic machine.
