The more complex a project is, the greater the likelihood of bugs appearing.

The more bugs there are, the more likely they are to be hard to find.

Some bugs are so infrequent, and so well hidden, that it would take the 
equivalent of dozens (or hundreds) of man-years to find them.  True, 
"with enough eyes all bugs are shallow," but sometimes the requisite 
number of eyes is just infeasible.

And it's perfectly possible to deliver a working product that has bugs 
in it ;)
