If many of your users misuse your tool, that's a design problem not user error

There's a valid point there, but that's stating it way too strongly.

I haven't seen their documentation, maybe the problem lies there. But there's no tool or documentation so perfect that nobody can use it wrong.

Yeah, goddamn hammers needs to be way softer, do you know how many thumbs worldwide have been hurt by them? Clearly the fault of the hammer.

If I have you hammer with a wax coated handle then it will regularly slip out of your hand.

One could blame the user for not "just" holding it right. Or alternatively reconsider if the handle should have a grippy coating instead.

More modern version: No you are holding your iPhone wrong, it is not a design fault that makes a ground loop in the antenna if you hold two metal surfaces with your hands.
