Proof of futile resistance

I think our "stupid" mistakes are less stupid than we think. For instance, I took a math test today. On the test, I managed to see the same exact problem that I anticipated in preparation for the test. Never mind how I manage to "anticipate" that problem...

On that very problem, I made the same arithmetic error (in my head) that I did when solving it the first time around.

I guess the moral of the story is: just because something can be easily avoided, doesn't mean it will be easily avoided.
