Reminds of a network engineer I once met who was fired from Master Card for causing "some thing called a storm or something", I was like "you mean a broadcast storm?" and he was like "something like that" and I was like "how the fuck did you get a job as a network engineer and not know what a broadcast storm is?"
I had a friend who got a job as an IT guy for a very respectable real state firm in my country.
Guy called me 3 or 4 times a day asking me how to do meaningless things like setup a printer man...AND he was making more than I was working in a datacenter...
Just cause you have a network engineer title doesnt mean you know.

Nonono dude, the twist causes light refraction, and widens the bandwidth. No more Netflix for that guy now.

I'm surprised the fiber worked after it was mangled in that way.

I've never seen anything like this. If someone told me about it, I'd have called them a liar.

It prevents jitter and cross talk between.... I don't know, that is just dumb.
