In this case the stupid design is not to be blamed, but maybe the (missing of proper) documentation of such silly behaviour is the real culprit. I don't excuse people for not knowing that they can damage their system, *if* they have been given the opportunity to acquire the necessary knowledge about that issue. Then, I have to say that I personally find it still very stupid to give the possibility to brick a laptop without putting large blinking red signs of warning everywhere, to specify that there is this risk.
