I believe, you're wrong. It's actually designed for it. It was tested (on
grass as far as I remember) during development.

I doubt that gear up landings have very much to do with the design on
any aircraft. The gear-up landing your refering to with the F-16 was
the prototype (I think, it was that red/white/blue one) and was done
because the gear failed to extend, not to test the aircrafts gear up
landing performance.

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
as simply messing around with airplanes.
