I had to learn to get a masters in comething completely different
I'd say you achieved it.
I'll fess up to something from 1970 ish. My pal was a bit flash, and sent off for a Sinclair calculator. circa £20. It was a kit and he needed me to assemble it.
I shut myself in my den and really concentrated on soldering every joint with immaculate care. When it was completed it looked fine, but to my dismay, the display showed gibberish. I sent it back for their ministrations under the standard deal.
They sent it back with a lovely letter saying since it was so well constructed, they'd taken care to make sure I'd got the one I'd sent. However, they had not found a fault. Again, it showed total bo-lox . . . until it suddenly a light came on over my head and it dawned on me it was a 'Scientific' and had no means of switching back to being a normal calculator. Doh!!!!!!!!!!!
