If people spent more time studying mistakes made 8 years ago (or even
more than 50 years ago (*)) they would not repeat them today as

(*) In-band signalling in telephone networks.

Feel free to elucidate a *feasible* way to have deployed out-of-band signaling
on the installed copper-pair base back then. Also, compare the *actual* costs
and losses due to phreakers snagging free service due to in-band signaling to
the eventual cost of upgrading every single central office to something that
supported out-of-band.

Maybe those bell-heads weren't so dumb...
