My hope would be that they somehow engineered a failure on all the systems that they would have to debug at 3am

So the students engineered themselves to fail or the instructors gave them a terrible system that is bound to fail? Shit going sideways is a fact of life, but you can at least let people have the chance to prevent the problems before they exist.

While there is always someone else's mess you have to support, that does not seem like a great teaching moment to me.
