As a fellow embedded design engineer, I would advise you to read up a bit on the Greek gods Hubris and Nemesis.

I wouldn't call it hubris when we're saying that we know of these aspects, consider them our most important design constraints and do our very best to address them. Not being a native English speaker, it perhaps didn't come through humble enough :)

No, not at all - I'm just saying it is a mistake to laugh at Belkin's misfortunes.
