No, Cricket Bro did not “accidentally” do the right thing! He did the wrong thing and knew he was doing wrong. Diana Daggers found inspiration to make safety videos based on Cricket Bro’s mistakes. Sorry, Mark; you got it wrong, as did Diana.

I have personal experience in a related situation, as well. As a graduate student many decades ago, I was in a seminar and had to write a series of essays based on a particular style of textual analysis known as L’explication de texte. While I thought I was doing it correctly, my professor said that I had completely misunderstood the nature of this format and that my essays were, therefore, wrong. This is different from Cricket Bro, who knew he was in the wrong. Anyway, to twist the knife more, my professor asked me if she could use some of my essays for other students as examples of how to not write a L’explication de texte. Because I was pro-education, I consented (I also hoped it would influence my seminar grade!).

Cricket Bro knew he was doing a wrong thing, while I thought I was doing the right thing, but was still wrong. Diana Daggers used Cricket Bro’s mistakes to make videos showing the right things to do. My professor used my failures to instruct other students on what to not do. Is there a moral to this? I have no idea.
