Essentially, they're trying to demonstrate the the problem with having a too powerful 12v rail without good OCP. In relity, though, you won't find a short circuit like that in your PC.
No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the coils backwards! :D

I think it's just antec trying to rubbish PSUs which are actually better than their own.
