I once got an error that simply stated I needed to contact the admin to ask about the error.

On my own device. While logged in as root. I am the admin.

contact yourself then.

"Task failed successfully" was actually uttered numerous times earlier this week at work; we were testing this robotics and automation system and trying to detect various failure modes, and this was declared every time we managed to produce a new fault. This was so that we could write procedures on what the operators should do under various circumstances.
