QA/QC guys often vet new products by testing them to absurd lengths. Not only must the products hold up to reasonable use by reasonable people, they must be idiot proof to a certain extent too.
The joke here is that the guys made sure it stand up to idiotic demands, but exploded when it was exposed to a simple obvious one.
When I was a software developer, I told the managers that they need to get unqualified, untrained people, who know nothing about the system, to do the QA testing. Just like users, they will find a way to break it.
could you translate?
