  "This program has no bugs"

  "This program always does exactly what it is supposed to do"

I believe these are not the same in software: bugs are not just wrongly implemented requirements, but also missed requirements or constraints (one can claim these are new features, but the fact that ID looped around at 65536 is going to be called a bug by users).
