Re 1) This is probably a factor, but I’d guess it would have low tractability and even if completely corrected would have limited impact. This was the basis for CheckMe that I mention in the post, and since then there are many technological innovations that make crosschecking really simple but have limited impact. For instance, if properly implemented, digital instruments integrated into platforms like measure quick would fix a ton of problems, but I don’t see much happening irl with this.
2) Exactly! Not sure on test, but operating within parameters doesn’t seem like a crazy ask.
3) Yes, that’s definitely on of the points I was trying to make. If we’re choosing between systems that have the theoretical capacity to work in a highly optimized way but are failure-prone and opaque vs systems that work sub-optimally but are readily verified and less failure-prone then I think we should choose the latter.
Thanks!
