Short answer: No.

Long Answer: Yes, kind of. Computers can only predict their users up to the point where their programmer prepared them to predict. This means that every single situation needs to be predicted during the programming process. If you think about it, that is usually pretty difficult to do. That is why we often see updates and patches released to software after its initial release. This is just companies covering their tracks on small bugs and work flow errors that managed to slip into their products.

What this means for you.

Patience! This means you need to keep calm when something doesn’t work quite like it should. The people who made the software are only human, and if they managed to predict every situation the software was going to be in they would be performing a super-human effort indeed! So give them a little slack, the only person you are really frustrating when you get upset over your computer not working is yourself. Filing complaints with a company over broken software is a good thing, but be healthy about it and give constructive criticism.
