I would prefer an other wording than "only" in your question.

I imagine that probabilities and views will matter more for the handling
of a software error spectrum.

Are you looking for compensation possibilities?

Thanks that you could also admit a programming mistake.

I am also trying to improve various software.

* We have got just different development opinions about the relevance
of some changes. Can such a disagreement be a useful source for
interesting ideas?

* We are used to inform further contributors about results from static
source code analysis.
These tools can find a bunch of open issues because of the automatic
application of special search patterns. The importance of such findings
will vary as usual.
