The IBM family of OS for mainframes as well as everyother OS in teh last 25 years has error correcting code and yet the average number of patches to fix bugs is about 25 per month.

Error correcting codes are hardware mechanisms that fix errors (e.g. memory errors) detected in HARDWARE.
Patches fix errors in SOFTWARE.
They are completely different things, totally un-related.

Really?
But you don't know the difference between hardware and software?
Your comment makes as much sense as this :
" my car has anti-skid brakes, but I nearly had an accident, and now I have skid-marks in my shorts "
