| "If a user on a system expects a certain results set returned from a sytem call" Database queries and system calls are not the same thing. "and it doesn't return that expected results set, it's broken and not working properly, regardless if it's just an index is out of date. The backend functionally is considered a blackbox to the frontend user." The backend of an application is the database, the front-end is the GUI and the corresponding code that interfaces with the backend, not the user. "So I agree with you, but I am saying, trust me, in the real world, if an index is off, it's the same thing to say it's broken from a frontend user." Front-end user again? "assumed you would understand what I was talking about since you seem to be an expert. But what do I know? I only work for the Department of Defense designing Enterprise Level software applications." The other programmers must laugh in your face. Designing software applications for the DoD isn't much to brag about. At least I never have.
