This would be great for a class I have planned in "Critical Thinking".
Our grad students really lack confidence in their abilities and need to

Retraction watch is a pretty good resource for this type of thing:
They have categories for "doing the right thing" -
http://retractionwatch.com/category/doing-the-right-thing/ where a
researcher corrects their own error, as well as data issues category,
which covers many of the computing errors -

Greg probably has a list in some Google Doc that he can no longer
find.
If I can find the time, maybe I'll write up a quick blog post
asking for
pointers; it'd be nice to have some "broken compute" flypaper out
there
to collect such cases.
