Eric,

It doesn't matter what testing tools and methodologies you use. The chips themselves (not to mention their environment) are too complex to ensure absolute perfection.

I agree. All engineering is done using tolerances. For example, a Mars lander may only be specified to go 99% of the way to Mars, rather than the entire distance.
