    You're missing the point though; In much the same way that a 30 round magazine can be loaded with 15 rounds it's not your intent that matters, it's the perception of the possibility of your inanimate object to potentially cause harm that must be stamped out. For the children!
    Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.

    And if the cup can be modified to hold more than 16 ounces, then it's illegal, too. GO TO JAIL!
