* In ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'', Kaguya and Shirogane occasionally get asked for romantic advice, since they’re the smartest and most popular students in school. Of course, both are too proud to admit that they have no romantic experience whatsoever, leading them to bluff with advice that’s outdated and unhelpful at best, and counterproductive at worst. Somehow, though, it always ends up working out.

* For a long time (due to the BBC's lack of concern with preserving episodes and a lack of home video for most of its run) many ''Series/DoctorWho'' episodes could not be watched, leading people with no way of knowing whether past episodes had been any good or not. To solve this problem, the book ''Doctor Who: A Celebration'' was published in 1983, reviewing and summarising all episodes over the show's tenure. However, the people compiling the book hadn't seen those episodes either, so most of the reviews were guesswork based on the premises, guest stars and the author's {{Bias Steamroller}}s.
