You're absolutely right.

Zeke, if you happen to have Netscape up most of the time, and suffer
crashes because of (say) a RAM defect, then you might wrongly blame
hardware-caused crashes on the software you happened to be using
at that time.

This might correlate in an especially misleading manner if it _is_ 
a RAM defect that Netscape happens to hit more than most applications
because it's larger in RAM than most.
