You've assumed many things and you've made a mistake.
Don't blame other people's work for it.
Don't test on production/daily use machines.
Test before deploy.
I think it's pretty clear that this guy thought he knew what he was
doing and was sadly mistaken. When this "experienced OS installer" was
trying to install OpenBSD in "some unused disk space" and the installer
said "Use (W)hole disk?", one would have thought a warning horn would
have gone off. One would also think that when installing an unfamiliar
OS that a backup, restore-able to bare-metal, would have been done (I
don't know that it wasn't, since he never said one way or the other, but
the "I've been screwed by you guys" tone of the original post suggests
it wasn't done).
I would like to politely suggest that enough network bandwidth has been
wasted on this one.
