I feel like turning this into a technical issue is sleight of hand

Ah but you see, it isn't, here's what happened in the ticket system:
Feature: Display most profitable ads to users without offending anyone.
Bug: User was offended.
Resolution: Add user to block list for offending advert.
Status: resolved.
"The user's preferences were ignored because the advert system failed to invalidate the cache during the change, causing the user's previously cached settings to be used. This occurred only for a small set of users, who were in a similar geographic location and were assigned to an experimental cohort to test an updated component of the advert system."
Would anyone understand this? Would anyone care?
