Lets do some math:

Think about the code you rite... what % is buggy?  I am guessing 80%
of my code works the first time.
Think about the time spent testing - 2x as long as writing?

So if we stop fixing bugs and just write more code, there will be 160%
more working code in the same amount of time.

Oh, and we can stop messing with things like bug tracking systems.
