The most beautiful thing about this program is that it would work.

Various bit flips will once lead to all numbers being in the correct order. No guarantee the numbers will be the same, though...

Those bitflips are probably more likely to skip the section erroneously than waiting for the array to be sorted.

Fair enough! But won't they flip again to start the program?

The OS would crash entirely before that happens
