Why is "the software doesn't work right" implausible?  We all know
that software is a very unpredictable enterprise!

So they were able to show a demo with a specific unit where they
showed specific functions that they knew weren't going to crash.

That doesn't mean that there aren't specific, reasonable things
that you could do that would cause nasty crashes and lock-ups...
or card memory corruption!!
