Yeah, very novel concept of people making stuff that cannot possibly
perform as advertised, but claiming that it "was not deliberate".


No one is going to design a wallet deliberately with card pockets that wont
take cards. Thats always going to be a design ****up or manufacturing ****up.

The only thing you did manage to get right was your nick.



You do not u nderstand what is the meaning of words such as "intent"
or "intentional". An act is intentional if its outcome is known. So if
tey make a wallet that would not hold credit cards, or a tea kettle
with obviously inadequate hinges -- the outcome is known and that is,
therefore, an intentional outcome.
