Perhaps more like our military designing weapons and vehicles for use in  
Europe (read Russia) and then sending them over to Iraq; they work fine  
with the cold and the mud, but didn't like the heat and the sand. It's not  
a design fault they simply weren't tested for conditions that they would  
normally never have encountered.
