            This notion of "bug" is too narrow.  A bug is when the software does something it definitely shouldn't, even if the programmer expected that to happen.  For example, if a piece of medical software says drugs A and B may be prescribed together, when in fact there's a harmful drug interaction between them, then this is a very serious bug, even if the programmer expected the software to say that.

            No one is saying to make it hyperrealistic.  But it should make sense, to the extent compatible with good gameplay.  Letting AA shoot at ground targets but only if those ground targets happen to have wings on them, does not make sense.
