I believe the old hacker's description of that is "broken as designed".

In my experience, I've never met anyone who would agree with you. Even the acronym (BAD) is defined in my copy of the jargon file as: "
IBM: acronym, “Broken As Designed”] Said of a program that is bogus because of bad design and misfeatures rather than because of bugginess."
I think it's time to end this discussion with another quote:
