> What if the update is to address a safety issue?
If they didn't make "safety" right from the first time, why do you think they will do it better the second time, when the fixes are more expensive and the time pressure is enormous ?
Please refer to my earlier comment that there is zero chance of making bug-free software.
Counterpoint: You can get close enough that you can run a probe in space for 60 years.
Some probes have had major failures that JPL was able to work around with a software update.
True, but: different budget per unit of code produced.
