According to TIG (The Inspector General) Brief, Murphy was (and is) a real person.
Captain John Murphy, USAF, Ret. Former systems analyst. The original Murphy's
law was:

"In any given system, if you don't plan for failure, you are sure to get it."


And Admiral Hooper didn't invent "bug in the system," she just found one (etymologists
have traced "buggy" back at least 100 years before computers).
