The paradox of material implication. Yeah.
I have a modern variant. There once was a University (of Waikato, let's say) who got it into it's head that because a graduate research qualification is 'pass-fail' (rather than being graded) just so long as both examiners did NOT say the thesis was to be accepted without any changes at all they could deliver any outcome of examination they like including 'failed to meet the required standard'.
Because they thought the standard required was the standard they required. And they could simply fail whichever studnets they liked.
They genuinely and honestly think that the public institution of the University of Waikato can just do whatever it likes. They genuinely think they are entitled.
There's nothing here.
