One of the saddest moments of my career in computer centre 
helpdesk was talking to a chemical engineering student whose PhD 
basically evaporated in smoke, as I showed them the 'interesting' 
experimental results of their model were the outcome of using 
un-initialized global common in a huge fortran program they'd 
written.
