Water filter fail on the JMT, my dumbest moment yet

After 3 days on the John Muir Trail I realized I'd been backflushing my Sawyer squeeze with dirty creek water the whole time, so every filter I drank was basically unfiltered. A thru-hiker at Red's Meadow pointed out I was using the wrong syringe direction and laughed for a solid minute, has anyone else made this kind of rookie move?

Wait, so the dirty side and clean side kinda... blend together after a while, right?
