That's a strange piece of reasoning
IE doesn't do a stupid redirect. Well done Play!
Firefox doesn't a stupid redirect. Well done Play!
Opera does a stupid redirect. Bad Play! No biscuit!

No, IE, Firefox and other browsers fail. 404. Server not found.
The reason being that Play have linked to a server that doesn't exist outside the developer's network.
Both Opera (9) and Firefox will try to resolve incomplete addresses by searching, but Firefox only seems to do it on typed addresses. (Try it: techdesign/LandingQ4_08/QuestionOfSport/dev/pb_qos.css )
It might be misguided behaviour on Opera's part (indeed, it doesn't seem to do it in Opera 10), but it's still Play's fault for shoddy Find And Replace skills.

So instead of saying
"Yoo hoo, Play, I've found a bit of dodgy code, you should fix it!"
he does something intentionally detrimental to them?
