Perhaps I am missing the sarcasm.

You did not teach them to use 15% instead of 115% for the smaller failures (a.k.a. 85 less fuel).

Forgetting about the baseline 100 in the l/g down case is a widespread error, but a well identified one. Re-assimilation in progress for many years.

If you missed the moment to point this visual trap, it's a lost opportunity, no worse. Sure as hell the 180+15 look bad enough already.
