And no. Unfortunately, you are wrong. With computer systems it is garbage in gospel out.

Creative arithmetic algorithms?

As a degreed electron tech. I must beg to differ. Bad code in(garbage) bad results out ( more garbage)

A simple check address comparator line of code would take care of it. Maybe they need the NSA grade hardware.
Though the article didn't mention it, those refunds might have also been issued to the same SSN. Of course, the IRS wouldn't confess to that kind of slip up. Ever!
