Maybe there is bad design in this -- in the fact that programmers need
to make this complex choice to avoid giving users bad behavior.  Good
design would, I suppose, make the choice unnecessary.

Telling people to ignore the choice, or choose at random, while
the choice is still necessary, would not be better design.
