I think Grace Hopper also coined the term "bug" when they found a real insect inside a machine once that was causing problems... I could imagine the spirit of Grace Hopper striking back with more bugs also.

While Grace Hopper did find a moth causing problems in the Mark II, the term "bug" for flaws in technical designs predates the computer age by at least decades.
