Suppose that the programmer is unaware of the production-line issues which result in stress concentration on turbine blades and create the world such that turbines which cycle more often have larger fatigue cracks. Suppose the programmer is also unaware of the lack of production-line issues which result in larger fatigue cracks on turbines that were consistently overspeed.
The programmer is aware that both overspeed and cyclical operations will result in the growth of two different types of cracks, and that the ideal solution uses both cycling the turbine and tolerating some amount of overspeed operation.
In that case, I don’t find it reasonable that the choice of programming language should have any effect on the belief of the programmer that fatigue cracks will propagate; the only possible benefit would be making the programmer more sure that the string was a program which controls turbines. The high-level goals of the programmer aren’t often within the computer.
