"If any of those Japanese suppliers are
non-compliant,how will you defend your programs from their
contamination?TIA

It's a bug, not a virus, there is no way that it can contaminate our programs. We could be feed bad data, but, we do not get a direct feed from anyone in SE Asia. Even if we could get bad data from them it would not "contaminate" our programs, it could crash them or cause incorrect results, but you can just delete the bad data and continue on with data from other vendors. People who do not program computers just don't understand how things really work, it's being made out to be much more than it is, it's very difficult to explain unless you have actually done this type of work.

I'm amazed by how many people think this is more like a virus than a bug, this in know way could take programs that are compliant and turn them into ones that are not compliant.
