If a criminal can escape a prison, that's usually negligence on part of the prison staff.
Now suppose the criminal can think 1000 times faster than a typical human, can act 1000 times faster than a typical human, and knows 1,000,000 times more than a typical human. Is the prison staff still at fault for not preventing the outbreak?
I can see my carefully-worded post is getting d*wnvoted, and I see from your comment why: it's being skimmed and people are assuming I'm talking about blame.
To address your point though, if every brick in the prison were made by a different person, and the prison "architects" simply glued random bricks together, I think that's closer to what we have in software right now.
