Mostly it just provides an opportunity to prove you're too stubborn
for your own good. About 20% of the way through, it's pretty apparent
that giving up and installing from scratch will be a lot faster. At
this point, you've learned most of what you're going to learn, and
it's just a long hard slog the rest of the way.  But do you give up
and do a fresh install?  No, you keep going "because it's there".
