That one is also referred to as "the PICNIC principle"
(Problem In Chair, Not In Computer)
and
I strive to make my programs idiot proof. But the universe keeps coming up with greater idiots.
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
Attributed to Tim Cook:
Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

There is a site I like to hang out at . . . Which has to do with
Programmable Logic Controllers. Better thought of as industrial
strength computers designed for reading real world inputs and
making moving parts move in the desired manner.
I've learned a lot from those folks. And received some desperately
needed assistance with PLC's where I work.
The above quotations came from a thread where the guys was talking
about some of the things they'd like to have on a T-Shirt.
