Re: What fucking dipshits
There are especially 'special' folks in that neighborhood that are
perfectly capable of
not
learning from experience!
Are they examples of American exceptionalism?

I've heard it said that "faith" was all powerful. However, faith has to be founded upon denial of the realities of here and now.
I think many "faithful" folks do not know the definitions or differences among faith, hope, fantasy, imagination, illusion, delusion, and hallucination.
The differences are more subtle between a few of them.
Do you know the differences to which I refer?
I had nothing more ambitious nor constructive to do, so I indulged myself in carrying out your proposed experiment.
The hammer was a 6-pound sledge.
The steel nut and the nylon nut both were half-inch.
An actual anvil was the work surface.
Both nuts were upset to the degree that neither would thread onto the bolt that both fit previously.
However, the nylon nut was threaded onto the bolt after three re-tries by hand.
The reason is that the slightly softer material was realigned with a bit of force.
The steel nut would have required use of a tap to recut the initial threads.
Is your comment FUD or creative speculative fiction? US intelligence certainly knows more than it ever releases (sometimes even to its intelligence partner domestic Agencies & friendly partner Governments). Your comment reminds me of Congressional discussions of intelligence, social, or tech matters. Facts & Figures are often overlooked because their agenda-driven opinions are easier to understand & make better sound-bites.
Yes, I love that one! An Admin acquaintance clued me in to that sort of memorable "gotcha" lesson years ago. He also had an extended version that locked the keyboard and recorded then played back 5 minutes of audio during the lockdown. I was never around when it happened (darn) but I did receive a few emails afterward from the recipients of the practical jokes. Some folks have no sense of humor.
I applaud the "learning experience" that you so practically provided to your clients! A decade ago, when I was a contracted Systems Admin, I took advantage of such serendipitous opportunities to drive home the concept that employees are the first-line defenders of the boss's Network. Fortunately, my client (the Boss) had a sense of humor too. The "victimized employees were a great example for the others. My sense of practical humor wasn't well appreciated but the lessons were well remembered.
