This reminds me of a funny/sad story; my father went through engineering in the late 40's. A lot the profs were soldiers who were maybe not 'quite right' after their return from the war.
One prof was explaining the slide rule operation during the first week of school and he made a mistake about which scale to use, so a student corrected him. This made the prof nervous, and he continued to make mistake after mistake, which the students kept correcting. It got worse and worse until the prof fainted, and all the kids just ran out of the class.
The next day he was back to normal and never mentioned it.
