The instructor should have taught that electrical stuff runs on magic smoke. You want to keep the smoke in. When you let the smoke out, that's when you have a problem.
Which reminds me of another story. The first time I installed a new breaker in my panel, I installed it incorrectly, and accidentally wired my shop for 220 instead of 110. I wondered why the ballasts on my shop lights were smoking and humming. I got out my meter to investigate, and the last thing I saw before the meter exploded was the number 220 on the display.
Oops.
There's a video on the internet with a mock ad selling genuine factory wire smoke for British cars!
