No one said anything of the sort and I cannot conceive how anyone could possible think that they did.
- Arnt 4y ago"It was designed with the properties and the builder knew it would happen"?
- Beltalowda 4y agoIf you don't see how "designed with the property X" is radically different from "designed in order to do X" then I don't really know what else to say.
- Arnt 4y agoWell, the original article says it was designed to have curved surfaces. That it concentrated heat was something they discovered during review, which implies that it was not a design goal. Then they computed what the temperature would be, and found it acceptable. Then in reality the temperature was quite different from what was computed. The original article chose wording that distinguished between the design goal, the computed side effect and the actual side effect. 4RealFreedom chose wording that commingled the three.
