A Bug in the Feature

We have a "flip up" spout on our balsamic vinegar. It was a surprise innovation to the usual bottle top. At first all appeared normal, but when we opened the bottle, shazam! Up popped the spout. Neat! Almost like those fancy balsamic bottles they have in the restaurants when you have bread and olive oil at the table. Except...its really hard to get the top back on. I almost cut my hand every time I try to close it, because it has the same old aluminum cap with the perforated bottom, and to push the spout back down and turn, I risk hand lacerations every time, unless I use a dishtowel to screw it shut.

At what point in the development of this feature did someone notice this? Did the arguments to upgrade the quality of the cap to accommodate the new spout fall on deaf ears? Or did the flaw go unnoticed until the bottles were in production? Or was everyone so taken with the wizzy new spout that no one, even today, has yet to mention it? Like some kind of kitchen-bound naked emperor? How many hands could have been saved by a little research upfront?
