Of course, the biggest real world lesson of undergrad physics labs is how to intuit the right amount of experimental noise/variability when you fabricate data (a true art, as any accountant or tax attorney knows too well).
Those with a gift of intuiting "real" fake data from the ether, move on to success and management. Those that don't, end up hating their new bosses...
How sad..........I actually didn't find it humorous because I think it is too real.
