So I'm reminded of the old saying about software.

All software contains at least 1 bug.
All software can be reduced by at least 1 instruction
Thus, by extension, all programs can be reduced to 1 instruction that does not work.

I'll get my coat.

I never realized till a few hours ago how many errors can be fitted into
three lines of code, and I can't tell the person concerned.
