Making you look like a fool for pointing out that a button that says self destruct should really engage self destruct, and a button that says test nuclear missiles should in contrast not actually fire nuclear missiles.

And from Poettering's fix here:

Plus a multitude of other fixes, some quite important, such as one that fixes a case where --dry-run wasn't dry at all.

So the button that says test nuclear missiles was in fact actually firing nuclear missiles sometimes.

Our education system has abandoned most 'life skills'. Those include things that everyone needs to know (basic cooking & cleaning; how to change a tire; how to manage money; etc.) But we're going to have a high school teacher (who usually can't code their way out of a wet paper bag much less design a ui or debug data access code) 'teach' students programming.

Most high school science teachers aren't chemists, either, but they're trained in teaching the principles for a student to understand the basics of chemistry for general knowledge. Most high school home-economics teachers are chefs. Most teachers aren't carpenters or electricians or accountants, etc.
