I guess I would have thought it would have been more idiot proof.

I can think of any number of businesses -- AOL, Earthlink, Rosetta Stone, Ancestry.com, every fitness club, etc. -- that make their money by getting people to sign up for regular payments for something that they aren't going to use. That's the free market in action -- taking money from people who may not be idiots, but also aren't spending the time and attention to save themselves some money.
