This is a question Ignorance

I 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?

Amstrad field engineer in the very early 90's
Came to repair one of our misbehaving 1640's. As part of his advice on avoiding potential future problems told us never to put virus infected floppies back into the same packet as clean ones as they would get infected too.
At first I smiled and said,"Nice try, but you don't fool me." expecting him to break into a laugh.

But no, it was clear that he was 100% convinced of his words so all I can guess is that his bosses had told him this fact as a pisstake and let him out into the real world to make a tit of himself.
