This just underlines the engineer's problem with making something secure, yet making sure every moron in the U.S. can plug it in and turn it on and have it basically work.
I'm sick and tired of hearing marketing, human resources, finance and 99% of the world of "business" come cry me a river when they complain system doesn't work as expected because they didn't know what the customer really wanted. Not even the customer knew what he wanted, they all came to me saying " it must be cheap and basically print me money "
Yeah sure and If I had the method I'd be working for you fools would I ?

A big part of engineering is figuring out what the user wants. The user can't be trusted to automatically know exact
A big part of engineering is figuring out what the user wants.
The customer wants something perfect, that works perfectly, with zero maintenance costs and that he can have for free. There you go, that's all you need to know on what any customer really really wants.
Engineers are not supposed to be work on the discovery phase "ask customer what he realistically wants" neither on the update phase "tell customer he can't have but that" neither concern himself with the very fine legal and psycological details involving a transaction.
The fact the an engineer is at the same time the most suited to do the job (assuming you can find one good at all of them) has seduced somebody into thinking "hey ! I can hire one engineer and make him do the work of 3 person !! The salesman, the manager and the technician ! "
Indeed that can be done, but with LIMITS ! One can't have the output of 3 people from one person without paying COSTS somewhere else.
Many pseudo-MBAs think (yeah, pseudo MBA, some serious MBA is more like an engineer then a sociologist) they can milk and milk and milk people indefinitely, as long as such people don't recognize they're being milked to death.
Guess what, the bucket doesn't END at one point in reality its weight must be divided or at somepoint it will CRASH.
Guess what again, by the time the bucket crash the organizer will be in bahamas counting money.
