You are surely right on this,

i understand human errors in a process or mistakes in a design (like
meters/miles confusion) etc, but here it's more difficult to accept. 

imagine a car maker designing a new car with an old engine but with a

says uh oh ... 

This "bug" is so extraordinary that it deserves a FAQ...
