In the same vein, I read a comment about the Sci Fi story The Cruel Equations by an engineer. For those not familiar with the story it involves a small spacecraft that ferries one person and some equipment from one planet to another and one trip when someone else, not knowing the specs, hid on the ship to get a free ride. There was only enough air for one person and so someone had to die.

The engineer made the comment that the vehicle clearly was poorly designed.
