It was an ironic twist of fate that we were preparing specifically for this type of challenge and, when presented with exactly what we had prepared for we failed to see the solution.

- LPisGood 2y agoI think the other comment had an excellent breakdown of the various factors at play, so I will start by saying I fully endorse what was said there. To highlight a key point: “naturally” is slightly humorous because it implies that while the outcome was ironic, it should almost be expected that an ironic bad thing happens. In addition, it signals my opinion on such situations more generally, whereas “ironically” is a more straightforward description of what happened that would add less humor and signal less of my personality.
