Confound

Cause surprise or confusion (especially something that is counter to their expectations)

The sad thing is, from a programmer's standpoint, the ColecoVision is a workhorse, with a swift clock speed (3.58MHz is how fast the 16-bit Super NES runs!) and a friendly design interface. I'm using CVBasic so that's obviously a crutch, but there's not much to confound you here.

Back in the old Media Matters Disqus days I used to compose jabberwocky to try to confound the Russian trolls. Didn’t work so well, but fun. Invoking the Battle of Tsushima rattled them, though.

Honestly can no longer find anything the iOS Apple Photos app even though the very features that confound me are clearly intended to help findability
