I remember reading the original article a few months ago. Although I could see the danger, at least it shows an idea. Maybe someone can refine it to make something better.
I remember a while ago on the New Inventors a guy had invented a clip for holding boards down for decking. Rather than having to drill holes and nail them down, this clip simply pushed into the side of the board giving a much neater finish. "Brilliant" I thought until one of the panel asked "how do you remove a board?".....the guy scratched his head and said "I didn't think of that"
I am sure someone could solve this problem with a little thought.
I guess even "bad" inventions can lead to a plethora of "good" ones.
