Trying to make inteligent conversation with Joe is always a waste of time.

You're basically trying to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person.

Or as my dad used to say of people like Joe, "He talks like a man with a
cardboard a$$hole."

Swearing is not only ignorant, it shows lack a lack of understanding and
English.

If the most carefully made devices have such problems, imagine how bad
some consumer-grade products must be. Many Chinese companies barely
engineer their products but simply copy the reference designs
published by chip manufacturers. Those designs only intended to help
engineers quickly build experimental circuits to learn about the
chips, not make final products, and the reference designs often
contain flaws (sometimes documented) that the engineers are supposed
to eliminate in their own designs.
