The plywood shelf sag lesson from that Habitat build in Tulsa

Last month at a Habitat for Humanity build in Tulsa, one of the older guys pointed at a sagging 3/4 inch shelf I'd just hung and said 'you forgot the middle support, kid', and now I always add a center cleat on anything over 36 inches wide, has anyone else had a shelf fail that way or do you just double up the ply?

My buddy's bookshelf collapsed last year, same exact thing, snapped right in the middle.
