Not quite this, but I did have a validation team that didn't know when to quit.
The project was a Windows service, and they would be constantly opening bugs saying "program crashes when we deleted xxxxx.dll"
Like... Yeah. If you delete necessary libraries from the installation directory, the program won't run correctly.
That should be elementary computer literacy: if you don't know what the file does, then don't delete it.
"I didn't know what it was, how was I supposed to know not to delete it?"
But that's how you learn!
