So they didn't spot this 'problem' in the design review?

That's who should be fired.

I'm sure they did, but that was the only way to check all the boxes. It still fulfills its purpose, albeit badly for this particular bit. It's classic "users will work around it" mindset; 75% of the project is still fine!
