I enjoyed that story. Bad chemistry, but a great tale. It's either an urban legend or the teach felt generous. Reminds me of a college physics lab I took. It was just before Christmas break and we were plotting some electromagnetic effect in order to prove one of Maxwell's equations. My results were wrong. Really, really wrong. The result was supposed to be a line with a slope of 1 or so. I could have understood a slope of .75, or 1.25. But my line had a slope of something like -.50. It was physically impossible for the slope to actually be negative, but there it was on my chart, a sure F. But we were trained to turn in the results we got, and so I did, including an unusually long section on possible sources of error. I concluded "These results conclusively prove there is no Santa Claus." He gave me an "A" with "Oh yeah? Ho Ho!" next to it.
