It's not just about critical bugs though. Those are "stop what you're doing and get on it". ANY bug that is not critical gets worked on next no matter what. So it's about all bugs getting priority over other work.

It's akin to an immune system. When a bug is found, it's attacked until it's dead.

I really appreciate this feedback. As there are a few people that the phrase is rubbing up the wrong way, I'll meditate on it a little and see what I come up with.
