Personally, I have always preferred BAC (Broken As Coded).

Hey Zeke Boyes, who is Bill Schuh? I don't even know of a relative by that
name :-)

Working as Documented is another version of WAD. My stance is that if the
system dies because of a design "feature", then perhaps that feature ought
to be reconsidered. Certainly, there is no way to anticipate all possible
feature failures, but when one comes up that is preventable, then the design
ought to be tweaked. All of the discussion about whether it is or is not a
DOS is totally irrelevant, especially to those who have been victimized.   

(I thought that Lyn Hadley eliminated WAD and BAD from the IBM vernacular
years ago.)

Regards, 
Richard Schuh
