It is inept to follow well published standard? Sorry, but no. Producing files that don't follow the standards is inept. Handling files that don't follow the standards without even a warning, again, inept. But, making sure your system works even when crap is thrown at it, not inept. And deciding to throw away the crap rather than take a guess at how to handle it, again, not inept. Especially when doing this in a resource constrained environment.
