The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (19 January 2023):

Wrong Thing

    A design, action, or decision that is clearly
   incorrect or inappropriate.  Often capitalised; always
   emphasised in speech as if capitalised.  The opposite of the
   Right Thing; more generally, anything that is not the Right
   Thing.  In cases where "the good is the enemy of the best",
   the merely good - although good - is nevertheless the Wrong
   Thing. "In C, the default is for module-level declarations to
   be visible everywhere, rather than just within the module.
   This is clearly the Wrong Thing."
