What I mean was, it may be an intentional glitch or something, but it doesn't qualify as a "design" since it serves no design goal. The design goal they gave us - "they're mean so they will take away all your KI" won't work as intended if the players don't talk to the NPC. It's actually very different from the "stupid ideas" in the past. Most of the stupid ideas in the past are just design goals disapproved by the players, this one simply has a design goal that doesn't function properly.
