I also have 20 years of programming for a living and I fully agree with you. Had Blizzard noticed it during development they should have taken precautions but there is no expectation for them to notice something like this. It's a hardware problem. If hardware can be destroyed by improper software then they have a major obligation to document that which you should not do. These days the low-level controllers normally are designed to avoid carrying out dangerous commands and so only the people who write such stuff have to be concerned with destroying hardware.
