Imo that's the main failure of the posix, it _looks_ like a Phillips, and behaves like one of you use a Phillips bit. Which is rather unfortunate and not really it's fault, but hard to overlook for "normal" usage.

A little harsh to call an intentional compromise 'a failure'.

A feature is that pozi is compatible with Phillips bits, just without its advantages.

For people with older or smaller toolkits, that's actually quite helpful.
