It's the way FIRST wants it to be, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a defect in the system from the point of view of many of the veteran teams.

On a related note, the scoring system worked flawlessly today at St. Louis...

Again, it worked as designed, but one specific feature could be considered a flaw by the users even though it's exactly as FIRST specified: it takes serious intervention to correct a match score after the fact.
But there haven't been any noticeable
glitches in the system. It all seems to be working exactly as FIRST wants it to, and that's good.
