There's no "human trials" in computer sciences, for example. There's beta testing, but that is very different. If it doesn't work for you, and you describe the problem accurately, I can reproduce the bug and fix it.
Not possible with pills and other medication.
Medicine adds the human factor in the equation, and that makes everything inexact.
Hey, you still need to excel in exact sciences. In particular statistics, to figure out how often a medication works. lol
But you wouldn't be able to tell me exactly if it will work for me.

Engineering is hardly exact. Almost everything is an approximation, nothing is ever manufactured exactly to spec. It’s why we have process corners in semiconductor fabrication, for example.
