I agree. The containers were labelled, but then the labels were smudged. So now there is a risk in guessing which container has the contact lens solution. At this point, Rehm elected to take the risk, and suffered the consequence of her own decision.

Some people, (not me, of course) might call this an example of Darwin's laws at work. I would disagree with that.
