Admittedly, IME, just about anything can... :p
Something I used to tell customers when I troubleshot electronics for a living: Remember, the machine isn't smart. It only
appears smart because it's dumber than dirt
at the speed of light. What
in a human would be taking 20 years to master waving bye-bye and won't live long enough to learn pattycake,
in a machine takes place too quickly for humans to spot. So when a solder joint comes loose or a contact gets dirty, there is no circuit that looks at the changed signals and says, "wait, that can't be right." And if you tell it to do something impossible, it won't tell you "no", it will attempt it and probably destroy itself trying.
So if a process uses 20 machines and 30 pieces of software, that's a minimum of 50 people's brain farts, laziness, incompetence or overwork you have to watch out for. And it's not as if any of us are immune to brain farts.
