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?

My favourite was a set of knobs for an electric guitarthat claimed to reduce noise and improve the sound in various unlikely ways.
It could be believable except that they weren't electronics, they were just the [normally plastic but in this case] wooden knobs that sit on top of the actual control.
£500.
I can't find them now but I did just come across this quote about another set, to give you some perspective: "they look amazing but are a tad on the pricey side. £35!"
