you can’t make this up. If someone tried to put this into the plot of a
work of SF, any competent editor would reject it as too stupid to allow
suspension of disbelief.
You do realize that these were a thing back in the 1950s and 1960s, right? So if someone is writing an SF work set in that era, it would be perfectly accurate.
That said, yes, of course, idiots walk among us. Are you just now noticing that? :-)
