I can be wrong about the magnitude of error introduced into the gyroscopes, but still right about the root cause of these failures, which may not have been a crazy sequence of events caused by a funky gyroscope, a chip, a radiation storm, a 'slow turn' a software glitch, a pair of hardware glitches, a piece of junk, or a metric/Texan conversion error.
So you are clueless. No one stuck a chunk of mud on the gyro. The simple explanation is most likely the correct one. Radiation affected the circuits that control the gyros. This is expected but the effect is not predictable. ****e happens.

Hmmm.. auto censor going on here...
