In software development, there's a saying: A "feature" is just a bug that's been documented. In other words, when your program does something unexpected, you could fix it, or you could just tell everyone it's supposed to work that way.
Obviously, there are a lot of other facets of life that could use that kind of attitude. For instance, it sounds impressive to say that a public washroom is the first to be equipped with a built-in bidet. That's much better than admitting that the auto-flush feature is so sensitive it will go off every time you move.
