I'm genuinely curious how this happens. It seems impossible without a) extreme malice and/or b) extreme incompetence. Is there really a project manager authorized to say "make this checkbox a no-op and damn the ensuing anti-trust case"? Or, if it's a simple bug, did the programmer who implemented this really ship it without anyone even testing it once?
