Doctor, I find one flaw in your theory.

And the first story is called

Remember Prickly Pear.

Computers are obedient to a fault.

But it's flawed.

Vosk's time travel device had a drawback.

Now, Biff, I never noticed that the car had any blind spot before when I would drive it.

You running a glitch in the program or something?

This conclusion is clearly absurd, but where is the flaw in the logic?

With your faults

Like a mistake?

I can't find any holes in his theory.

I can't find anything wrong with his theory.

Where'd you get that? Your literature?

So, we're sitting around and thinking,

This system has obvious defects.

This one... is a bit... defective.

But I'm glad to say that I think we know the cause of all these conditions, and that cause is NDD

I have a theory, but the, uh...

As I say, it sounded good. But when we came to go into the thing, we saw that there was a flaw.

What's my flaw ? Your temper.

To correct the defect, such that it no longer produces an infection but actually makes the program behave correctly.

This meant they must have been closer together in the past.

Next example.

Her timing was fatally flawed.

Errors are typically unwanted and unintended. Failures are error. A defect is also an error.

There must be a defect in the experimental method.

It's that long. Since it's so old, it's full of holes.

Why?

I am quite content not being the leading lady

It's... a genetic defect of some kind.

it's a theory.

I'm correcting a defect in its genome.

Are you blind, McFly? How else do you explain that wreck out there?

They're brand new technology. Databases are really hard.

Simple point the old civilization is no longer sustainable.

Router malfunction in hard drive 3.

Apparently there was some sort of banana in the transmission.

This system is bristling with defects and drawbacks.

And I remember saying on the morning of the accident,

We want to make sure that the defect is actually error, that is it is wrong.

I'm asking if it's possible.

There is such a thing as a defect in a story.

Now, however, since in the beginning, we have a normal input and in the end we have a failure, there must be a defect somewhere in our program that actually causes the problem.

And virtualreality displays show our geneticists the gaps in the DNA sequence.
