Not to nitpick, but even controllers make mistakes ya know.
Remember LEX?
I've been in ORD and cleared to line up and wait, with an aircraft on final about 1/2 mile final. The list goes on and on where ATC makes mistakes ALSO.
It just sucks where there's a breakdown/failure of the system on multiple layers.
