The point is not primarily the court. The court is an example of someplace where we have accountability, but we build accountability mechanisms as foundational to most of our computing.

Tracebacks, debuggers, logging, etc. We put enormous resources into not only the bad case, but the potential that a bad case could occur. When something goes wrong, we want to know why, and we want to make sure that something bad like that doesn't happen again.
