I actually saw a couple of programming languages designed around that 
concept.  One of them was termed "quantum", in that any operation in it 
had a 90% chance of success, and a 10% chance of alternative behavior.

The other language was designed such that all program logic was 
controlled through purposefully causing errors.

I don't remember the name of either language, but I'm sure others here do.
