I always see whenever security flaws are found in operating systems, games, software etc., a patch is released within a few days.
How is it possible that every security issue seems to be solvable once the issue is pointed out?
This doesn’t seem to be the case in, for example, the medical field where you may not have a solution to every medical problem even though you understand the problem quite well.

Humans didn’t invent biology, so there are things we understand without being able to control. Humans invented software, we have 100% control of it. There are a very, very large number of bugs in most programs, but most of them are believed to be harmless. When a bug is shown not to be harmless, that puts it on the “to fix” list. Fixing the rest of the bugs would be too expensive, so they remain.
