@saagar@federated.saagarjha.com anecdotal evidence, one of my classmates at the second introduction to programming class was explaining singed overflows to the *TA.* This TA was supposedly at least a sophomore in computer science and had to have completed almost 4 semesters of classes to get there. Yet he didn't know why overflows happen the way they do.

@saragon I’ve had multiple (tenured!) professors who wouldn’t be able to answer this well
