This is absolutely true. But ...
perfection can be approached when we keep things "simple stupid".
For example the init script suggested by Karl:

> $i start
> done

Often, simplifying a problem till the solution is clear and
obvious, can take a lot of time, but it deserves the effort. It is
sometimes possible.
High level languages, due to their high expressivity, help reach
such simplicity. For example, the above script, translated in C (why not
in assembler?) would need a carefull review by a community.
