That's still an opinion. Got some proof. Or, at least, strong evidence?
What is the evidence that computers (of the future) will fail more often

One term: "KISS" Keep It Simple, Stupid!

No controller has ever died from crashing his scope; likewise, no
programmer has ever died from his computer crashing.


That's not evidence.

Computers are fine for solving routine, known problems -- it is the
unknown, nonroutine stuff that gets you.


Like playing chess?

In chess, you have set, predictable moves and progressions of moves. In
aviation, you have an infinite number of those moves and progressions.
The chess problem becomes trivial in comparison.
