So Outlook does a fun thing where if someone wants to recall a message they accidentally did Reply-All on, instead of just wiping the message it sends out a "X would like to recall the message Y", Streisand-effecting an email I probably wouldn't have read otherwise.

The joke in my PhD cohort was that our dissertations consisted of experiments that could have been done in 8 weeks - but it took 4+ years to get those 8 weeks.
