That seems a bit unfair since it literally comes from the direct translation of 'idiot proof'. It's true that you can benefit from idiot-proof design without being an idiot, but I would argue that you could market a microwave that doesn't turn off when you open the door, plastered with warnings and maybe a mandatory course on how to operate it. An idiot-proof version would have safeguards that everyone could benefit from, but then saying that it's a fundamentally different concept just seems needlessly combative.
