Of course you could botch keywords like in CDC-NOS.  I always has to
laugh at a job card where you had to say Tnnn,Cnnn for time and core
but Cnnn,Tnnn was an error!

Same problem with the fortrash PROGRAM card.
PROGRAM (input, output, tape98=input, tape99=output) OK
PROGRAM (input, output, tape99=output, tape98=input) causes bizzare error
at runtime.

Then there was a book of botchs called the file system, but I won't get into
that.....
