The purpose of a computer that overheats is to stay broken until discarded or acted upon and repaired, the purpose of a computer that can manage heat is to compute, really simple concept
No amount of good intentions or willpower can make a system act contrary to its actual processes and outcomes
The point of POSIWID is to challenge magical thinking in the context of political system's analysis
Exactly. Its purpose isn't "generating heat", although it sure does that. Likewise, the purpose of cars isn't "crashing", although some do crash. That doesn't make it htier purpose though.
Again, unless it's broken in which case its purpose is just "generating heat" seems like you're just tripped up by some semantic understanding of the word purpose. Also what is the purpose of a car that has already crashed, do you think the purpose of a wrecked car is to drive it?
You do realize there's an entire concept surrounding the word "purpose" that you're just willfully missing
