WAD is often a misspelling of BAD (Broken As Designed)
Yes, but it is not even close to PRS, which acknowledges that there is
a defect.
What does PRS stand for?
Permanent ReStriction
https://www-304.ibm.com/support/customercare/sas/f/handbook/acronyms.html
Which reads "A programming error was found but will not be corrected.
The error will be a permanent restriction in the product."
Which is not even the same as WAD. WAD says the coding does what the
specs say it should while PRS says, in effect, that due to a coding
error the code does not match the specs so instead of fixing the
problem we are altering the specs to match the behavior of the bad
code.
Neither of these cases cover my suggested BAD case where it is the
design that is defective/inadequate.
