"Two things are infinite: human stupidity and the universe; and I'm not sure about the universe."
-Albert Einstein-
Mistakes are natural. But repeated mistakes without reflection are something else. That may be the “stupidity” he was referring to. In research, he admitted uncertainty openly. “If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?” This shows humility. Even a Nobel laureate accepted doubt. That humility makes the quote less cynical and more observational.

Has the "Woody" effect on the obverse but not so much on reverse......

That looks nice but it can't be a woody? Large cents were 100% copper. So can't be a bad alloy mix??.......... wondering what would have caused that?
