Please insert a blank disc to continue...

You know how sometimes we learn something new and it marks an elemental point in consciousness? We learn something so amazing that its sheer existence wobbles and/or boggles the mind? I came across one just now.

 

 

Did you know that in Alcohol, the burning software, you will get this titled dialog box if you try to erase a disc without a disc in the drive?

 

 

"Please insert an blank disc into the following CD/DVD-Recorder to continue."

 

 

Granted, the developers are German, so, that can explain the "an blank" grammatical error. But, the rest is sheerly a simple logic error! In order to use the drive for the disc erase function you have initiated, you must first insert a blank disc, which is already erased or not erasable if it is a WORM, in order to use it? So, the erase function will only work for discs that have already been erased?
