[lbo-talk] Collective idiocy....

Jordan: "That SOMETHING is almost never known, and is usually at the
end of a long career of not having that SOMETHING happen."

[WS:] You lost me.  So they do not know what increases the probability
of pilot error?  They do not train them to avoid that?

Singular events have causes and those causes can be determined.  You
can determine them in probabilistic terms if the event occurs
frequently enough or in descriptive terms, by enumerating a series of
events that led to the mishap.  It does not matter if that mishaps is
an air traffic controller falling asleep or person snapping and going
on a shooting spree - in each case you can, at least in principle,
establish a series of events that led to it, no?
