Similar to the Y2K problem.

I didn't notice any problem. In fact, not only did my microwave oven continue to function but my watch also successfully changed the date to 1/1/2000 without blowing up my wrist.......

Even my stupid alarm clock went off without a hitch........bummer!

Thanks to Y2K testing, we learned that a certain municipal fueling station (for police & fire vehicles) would have failed on 1/1/2000, and we contacted the manufacturer of the pumps and auditing systems for an update.

In the simulation, the pumps simply stopped working.

"I didn't notice any [Y2K] problem."

You guys didn't notice the problem because thousands of programmers like me took care of it, thank you very much. I was part of the generation that created the "problem" in the first place (out of necessity) and we were also the ones to solve it. So yes, there was a Y2K problem, just like there were WMDs in Iraq.
