Oh, I see your problem: you think I'm claiming that users of your hallowed creation[s] are doing the designing. Perhaps you need reading comprehension classes then.
I'm saying users of your HC's are doing the exploiting, the breaking, the every-day-using. They're the ones who are going to hold it upside down. Under water. Backwards. And then turn it on.
When it breaks, it's not the designer's fault, it's the user's "unorthodox" employment that is at fault.
Unless, that is, you've over-designed it, like the grip safeties in the original article, the inventors of which claim that they have reliability down to 99/100 correct fires. Please go consult your local firearms expert and ask them whether 1/100 rounds is a generally acceptable rate for misfires.
