It implies that you know who to sue if code quality isn't up to scratch. This is important to large organizations for some reason.

Even though it may be cheaper to just do it 10 times over with cheap one person shops and throw out the worst 9.

And who was sued in the case of the Healthcare.gov debacle?

I get the feeling this "knowing who to sue" saying is a bit of a myth.
