Give one to the real world. In the software world it's like the
Corvair, possibly unsafe at any speed. However, if correct,
it is safe at any speed. That first "if", however, you have
to get over. The issue comes down to how quickly can you
prove it correct and at what cost. We know the shortest time
is zero as is the least cost. So we know where we are and
where we want to get (at least closer) to. We will
determine the speed at which we get there.
