working as designed adj.
[IBM] 1. In conformance to a wrong
or inappropriate specification; useful, but misdesigned.
2. Frequently used as a sardonic comment on a program's utility.
3. Unfortunately also used as a bogus reason for not accepting a
criticism or suggestion. At IBM, this sense is used in
official documents! See BAD.
