In the absence of a complete sentence, let me suggest one.

• DO178C sees no need to assign any meaning to the term "software reliability".

It's fine for some industry consortium to find it has no use for a specific concept. RTCA likely has no use for the notion of a cup of tea, either (BS6008). But that doesn't mean it makes any sense to argue that there isn't any such thing as a cup of tea.
