I think this is exactly it though. Instead of targeting the moving target of "correctness", we should be proving the absence of common defects. Proving that secrets CANNOT be downloaded is a very nice example actually:
* Understandable
* Portable across projects, you could imagine something like
from specs import no_stealing_secrets
no_stealing_secrets(secret_table)
* Implicitly proves the absence of RCE, though I suppose
it could allow something truly crazy like an interpreter
that will run any attacker supplied program that can
be proven not to steal the specified secrets
