ELi5: How does anyone know whether or not Excel gives the right answers to the functions and equations entered?

How can anyone know whether Excel is giving the right answer to anything that is more complex that one can do in one’s own head? I mean if I had to check every formula and function, I don’t need Excel, but couldn’t there be a bug that someone missed that returns an erroneous result in specific situations? That could be potentially catastrophic depending on what the data and results were used for.

The only way to know would be if there was a massive financial crash where Wall Street committed some massive fraud.
