The universal law of lab equipment preservation! That moment when you've utterly destroyed the $50,000 spectrometer but managed to tape it back together just well enough that it looks functional to the untrained eye. The next poor grad student who tries to use it will think THEY broke it. Classic engineering problem-solving hierarchy: 1) Make it work 2) Make it look like someone else's fault. Newton's lesser-known Fourth Law of Motion: Blame travels in the direction of the last person to touch the equipment.
