Ah, that wonderful phrase: 'little chance'.

I was rung up by my manager this morning. A program had stopped working
at a client site, because a year ago, I appear to have typed '8' rather
than '28', and as a result, an expiry cut in 20 days early. (We were
going to provide the free updated version next week, in plenty of time
for the end of this month.)

Little chance that I'd have done that. Little chance that the mistake
would have been missed by testing. Yet, the bug was there on the
customer site, and was here when I checked the relevant executable too.

(Said code was a 'temporary hack', a couple of years ago, initially to
last for a month. Little chance it'd be required for much longer than
that. *cough*)
