IgnoranceI once was in a programming class where the task was "build a calculator". A student did one with buttons 1, 2, 3 all the way up to about 25 and then ran out of space on the screen. We've asked this before but liked it so much we're asking again: What's the best example of ignorance you've encountered?

At an audio equipment trade show...... I saw a gadget that took the bitstream from the CD player and sharpened up the leading and trailing edges of the pulses. "Oh yeah! Sharpening the leading edge made the high notes clearer and squaring off the trailing edge deepened the Bass response."
Had it set up with a couple of scopes and everything.

You're supposed to saythat it "really opened up the sound stage, bringing new depth to the bass and new clarity to the treble". This applies to anything expensive.
