We all make errors, and sometimes, those errors can make us look like idiots. Especially when that error gets published out in the world, even though it likely went through a host of gatekeepers to get there. And that's why we're here.

(Dudes, I don't want to go on and on if I already did. I'm scared. So I'm just gonna stop here. You feel me.)

(Thanks, SH!)
