No, it is NOT. What you are saying does not even make sense.

"Not designed" Could mean total lack of any design regarding the issue.
Something could "not designed to run without a firewall" without ANY intent
to design it to run WITH a firewall.

Is:

My car was not designed to run without a iceberg.

equivalent to:

My car was designed to run with a iceberg?

No. Wether or not my car would require an iceberg was not even a design
consideration. So it was NOT _designed_ to run with OR without an iceberg.
It was not designed or designed to run with an iceberg because an iceberg
was not even considered in the design. In short, there was a total lack or
design when it comes to running my car with an iceberg.

Because there was no consideration of icebergs in the design, my car was not
explicitly designed to run without an iceberg. There was no reason to
consider icebergs in the design so NO design was included to account for
icebergs one way or the other.

Are you really that stupid?
