How is the specific case of autocorrecting "duloxetine" to "fluoxetine" the system "working as designed"?

Why is a case like autocorrecting "duloxetine" to "fluoxetine" absolutely not in any way a fault of the developers?
Would an autocorrect system with the smarts to avoid that problem not be better?

You seem to be thinking of this in terms of absolutes. One point is that autocorrect, like everything else, has costs and benefits. Just because it has flaws doesn't mean it hasn't got benefits. For me the benefits outweigh the costs. Another is that when flaws are found they can be fixed
