No; it's exactly the other way around.  There will always be 
poorly-written applications - and even the best-written applications 
will always have bugs, particularly in an environment where code reuse 
is considered a Good Thing and where many "well-written", to-be-trusted 
applications can make use of libraries which have problems.  I would 
doubt that there is such a thing as a bug-free program of any 
complexity.  So it becomes a matter of mitigating the potential for 
damage.
