The report says that these physical constraints were not described in the
documentation of the SRI software, and therefore the people who attempted
to reuse it had no clue that it would fail outside of such limits.

Do you think it's appropriate to write software like that and not tell
anyone about it? If the code was in C++ and the failure mode was a
buffer overflow, would you accept that argument, or would you be villifying
that language?
