Looking at other project links on that page reveals more funny wording.

some guys practicing their english by writing articles. It's very common here, and also perturbing when I have to point out their mistakes. The civil dept students here printed this on their shirts, worn by nearly all of 'em: The common mistake when designing a completely foolproof structures is to underestimate the ingenuity of completely fools ..... what the frickin' tick was that? completely fools... and there it is, printed on shirts for everyone to see.

I hope you have a problem with more than the completely fools part!

As I would see it to be more grammatically correct for my part of the world I think it should read as this.

'The common mistake when designing completely foolproof structures is in underestimating the ingenuity of complete fools'.

But thats just how us northern plains folk would likely say it.

I just wrote it off my memory and made the mistake there in the designing a completely foolproof structures (YUCK!!)... but yes, it's only that complete-ly fools part which really irks me.

I think a good number of their circuits are untested as well... making for a waste of time, effort, and material. Anymore these days, one needs to analyze the circuit before proceeding with construction.
