D&D 5E Advantage vs Disadvantage : What's the Math?

nobody said it was broken?

Working as intended is a comment on intent. It is not a refutation but an agreement. If

To wit:
"This thing works beautifully!"
"Working as intended!"

is also valid and in the context of the OP, is the usage I am using it.

Ah, ok.

When I'm seeing it, it's mostly used snarkily to shut down discussion.

Perhaps I'm from the wrong part of the intarwebs, though

Yeah, I thought I'd mention the common snark usage, but thought better of it in case it came across accusatory.

As an aside, the snark usage is curious:

"This is broken!"
"Working as intended" could be a cynical dig on the designers (yes, its broken, but the designers did it on purpose) or a dig on the comment (it's not broken, you rube)

This might be one of those phrases that should just quietly go away except for its intended (hah!) usage - A response from those who can actually speak for intent.
