This is a good reminder for the "avoid technical debt" crowd and other advocates of sterilised development practices

Sometimes the rubber hits the road and you don't have time or money or any more cognitive energy to understand why your code that calculates a lot of things from a lot of data is not working in that 0.01% of cases

So you come up with a quick fix that's not exactly what it has to be done but it works it ships and it pays the bills.

Of course I don't advocate such solutions on critical paths, ate least not without some double checking.
