It does point out that the user experience is not dependent upon good choices. Dev teams looks at the peg, looks at the holes, its obvious. But they all fit in the square hole. This is possible. It could happen. QA: You should have planned for this. DevTeam: *weeping* What if we counted the number of objects processed via the hole passes? That means we could push all the shapes through and our counter would read "one" or "counted 24 square pegs", this is massively incorrect, theres a rectangle in there and 5 half circles! This is how society dies. Off by one and miscategorized. The crying was convincing and made me think she was truly unstable, glad its an act, especially if she wrote the dev/qa texts and thats the real context, in which case, this is super funny. I worked in QA for 4 years before they let me become a Dev, (I quit and went somewhere else as a dev lol) It's like an internal war that always makes me better than I was. We dont have QA where I work now, so its basically a dictatorship. Everything works though.... funny that. Complex systems almost never tell us what we want to hear.
