So the next time they're about to mess up nobody remembers how incompetent they are?

No, of course not. Because we also continue to listen to people that only were "right" once due to sheer luck that parts of the utter BS they spread turned out to be not completely wrong in a single instance.

On a serious note, how often did they really mess up? In a sense of having consequences that are close to impossible to fix? Not once, if you ask me.
