I think this is a completely inappropriate analogy.
Pharmaceuticals affect different people in different ways, simply due to
variations in genetics and biology.
Two people who earn the same money and spend the same amount do not expect
their bank balances to vary simply because one is 50kg heavier than the other,
or has a predisposition to lactose intolerance.
Data corruption is an error which is correctable. Medical side effects are
inevitable consequences of people's biology being different.
