I remember complaints of the form "My iPod really loves Steely Dan." I can't find the original article, but it's excerpted here:

I wrote this five years ago, and it actually made from the front page of Hacker News back then.
"We Suck At HTTP"
>"We have broken HTTP. We’ve done it for years in fits and starts, but apps have completely broken it. HTTP was a good specification which we’ve steadily whittled away."

From the same page:
(And yes, I know Gadgetopia’s URLs are somewhat lame in this regard. There are reasons why I did it, but changing it now - See more at: http://gadgetopia.com/post/6346#.dpuf)

I am reminded of this post:

I think your thoughts of being a talentless nobody have more to do with gaining experience than it does having access to more information and seeing more products. You have crossed the "Humility threshold" where "What you think you know" < "What you actually know".
