You don't know the half of it.  I worked for a company that built 
nuclear power generators back in the '70s.  At that time the NRC had 
rules that said what you design is what you build and it took 12-13 
years from design freeze to delivery.  Guess what the computer systems 
that controlled the reactors looked like by then?  My watch is more 
powerful.  It's scary.
