Does any specification exist for this feature?

If not then I guess you can claim it's not a bug on the grounds that it doesn't fail to meet its spec. At the same time, the feature doesn't succeed in meeting any spec that I know of. That really sounds like a fundamental design bug to me.

Does this community have any formal definition of "bug" that it relies on?

Also, just so this issue doesn't get dropped on the floor, who is supposed to create such a blueprint/brainstorm?

BTW, I didn't mean to seem entirely hostile to what Prashant wrote: giving novices a simpler UI is a really, really good idea. It's just not enough. It has to be possible to understand what the system is really doing without reading the source code.
