This is where we will disagree (and your company will continue to suffer a lousy reputation if you seriously believe this) -- blaming a programmer for bad program behavior is only part of the story...
Poor design and user interface choices by program designers are also "bugs". EVEN IF the programmer coded exactly as the designer specified, but the outcome is poorly functional or downright bad, if it doesn't work as the customer is expecting it to, it's a bug.
You can call it whatever you want, but blaming programmers for bugs and not giving program designers the responsibility to design a better specification is, well, lazy/sloppy - and should not be tolerated by professional software teams.
I am NOT being argumentative. Please re-read your post and discuss it with Max. You will want to erase it before Google picks it up. It's not the way X-Cart should be representing itself in public.
