A quote from one of my Drill Sargents that has always stuck with me:
“Just when you think they’ve got something foolproof, they have to go and invent a better fool.”
Said to me through a facepalm as we watched a private plant a claymore mine facing the wrong way… and for anyone unaware, the claymore mine literally has the words “back” written on one side and “front towards enemy” written on the other.

Knowledge is knowing when you don’t know enough so you buy the fool proof version so you can curtail the foolery and still complete the task.
Or you’re buying it for someone else
