When it comes to educating customers to the dangers of app notes, what
may be useful is a contest to find the world's most inappropriate app
notes. A collection of several of the worst offenders, what they say to
do, and what really happens if someone were to go down that rosy path
might serve as a wake up call to people hell bent on blindly following
whatever advice they find in an app note.
