Never underestimate the power of people to ignore what's right in front 
of their faces.  What's more, we all are "stupid" about something - 
sometime it's ignorance, or just missing something critical (I had a 
student in a class years ago who, for one of the labs, misread the 
instructions and used the examples in the book verbatim, rather than 
using the example as a guide to create a configuration file.  He got 
halfway through the lab before he started having problems, and had to go 
back and redo it.  Challenging thing for an instructor to deal with - 
catching him up without making him feel bad about such a mistake in front 
of the class (he was sitting in the front row, as I recall).

Actually, for us, it usually involves fireworks or guns.  'Murica.
