Does Jonathan Bowen believe all software needs formal verification?

Answered in Jonathan Bowen's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

The decision to employ formal methods depends on the complexity of the system, the acceptable level of risk, and the resources available. My work aims to demonstrate the power and applicability of these techniques where they are most impactful.
