The joke goes, "What do you call the person who graduated last in their class from med school?" "Doctor." Sometimes we fail spectacularly at momentous points

The joke goes, "What do you call the person who graduated last in their class from med school?" "Doctor." Sometimes we fail spectacularly at momentous points in our lives. That doesn't invalidate everything we've ever done and prove we are and will always be the incompetent frauds we appear to be, no more than any by other failure, although that's what it feels like when you're on trial. I would still rather receive medical treatment by an MD who graduated last in their class than by the lawyer who pointed out that doctor's biggest mistake. More than anything, to me, the expert looks unprepared, which is forgivable, especially for someone with little legal experience. Also, fractions on a tenkey? He would have done better on an abacus.
