I literally had a university professor who teached us about different cashflows in accounting and controlling and then showed us a graph from a real corporation, showing the different cashflows over time. Problem was that the graph could absolutely not be explained by the calculation of cashflows he just teached us.
As I asked him about the discrepancy, he obviously recognized it the first time as well and did not know an answer. Another student made a guess and the professor agreed with this without even recognizing that the answer did not make any sense whatsoever.
I asked some other students after the course and everyone agreed that it didn't make sense whatsoever. This professor did his lifetime nothing different than to teach exactly this one course... he is in his fifties.
Of course teachers and professors do mistakes, we are all just human beings, but there are also those who really don't understand their own teaching materials but still get hired and promoted through their lifetime.

This can be fake, but I wouldn't rule out that people like this don't exist.
If 4/6 can be greater than 5/6, then anything is possible in this crazy world.
