This paper explores the concept of inexpert systems which accumulate ignorance and misunderstanding. Capitalizing on the work of N. Worthy and N. Nowen (1985), the idea of an intelligence-avoiding system is applied to a number of common hard problems, formost among which is the development of accounting systems by trained COBOL programmers.
