Reminds of the story of Major Major from Catch 22 who was promoted due to a computer bug to the rank of Major and outranked everyone in flight school

Iirc it was due to a literal computer finding it funny, back when computer was a job title and not a machine.

“Actually, Major Major had been promoted by an I.B.M. machine with a sense of humor almost as keen as his father’s.”

Apparently not!
