I don't get your take.

Even the most strict definition of bug doesn't imply it has to "cause any damage / danger / instability / etc." to be one.

And I won't call it "work as intended" when the purpose of this feature is to provide an answer for human to read, and it failed on that.

I'd warmly beg to differ, I personally think it's illustrating how it is supposed to work, most elloquently.

I propose "accidental feature" for this sort of thing.

I like it, surprised the legions of Skyrim players haven't already coined that term
