    एक आम गलती जब लोग कुछ पूरी तरह से फुलप्रूफ डिजाइन करने की कोशिश करते हैं, तो वह पूर्ण मूर्खों की सरलता को कम आंकना है।

    完全にだまされやすいものを設計しようとするときに人々が犯すよくある間違いは、完全なばか者の工夫を過小評価することです。

    Um erro comum que as pessoas cometem quando tentam projetar algo completamente à prova de falhas é subestimar a engenhosidade dos idiotas completos.

    insanların tamamen kusursuz bir şey tasarlamaya çalışırken yaptığı yaygın bir hata, tam aptalların yaratıcılığını küçümsemektir.

    人們在嘗試設計完全傻瓜的設計時常犯的一個錯誤是低估了傻瓜的獨創性。
