Foolproof design

“This product is completely foolproof” means that it’ll withstand all kinds of foolish misuse possible.

Foolproof products and packages are designed to prevent errors when the product is out of your hands and you won’t have any control over it.

But the thing is that the very definition limits you and forces you to design to the lowest common denominator.

Designing foolproof is ok, but designing smart is way better.
