Foolproof

I was reading something the other day and it declared that the product was a foolproof way of doing this particular task. I looked at that word for a while and wondered how they decided that the product was actually foolproof. I mean, does the company employ a couple people who qualify as fools, and then see if they can make the thing work.

 I looked up the word just to see what it actually meant and found this: done, made, or planned so well that nothing can go wrong. That brought a moment of fear to me as now the pressure would be on to make sure I didn't screw up this foolproof product, because if I did, I guess I now qualified as a fool. 

The more I thought about this the more the word bothered me, so I looked up to see if there was a better word and this is what I found:Disambiguation

So if I was to buy a product that stated clearly, "this product quarantees disambiguation", I would know it was foolproof. The problem with that is what fool would ever know what disambiguation meant?

I decided I had too much time on my hands. Just Say'n
