I think _beyond_ mind-boggling.

It's mind-boggling that no-one else involved in the development/ 
testing noticed EITHER that this "unintended" backdoor existed OR 
implementing that design was stupefyingly moronic.

Either way, marginally sentient beings should have prevented this 
stupidity making it to production.

That it was not stopped raises a bunch of questions about the fitness 
to purpose and other quality issues for all other Fi Win products.  
Having now read the review, I see that such concerns clearly already 
apply to other design features of the SS28S...
