I went back and forth on this one.  There seems to be a vigorous debate on
the interwebs as to whether "can't be understimated" is okay now because the
misuse -- along the lines of could/couldn't care less -- is so common now as
to yield an independent meaning for the obviously wrong phrase.

I ignored it on the grounds that there's no such grade as F-minus.
