> Wow you have a relentlessly unrealistic view of things.
I noticed from your response that you didn’t really refute the claims, but that suggesting that systems don’t achieve their stated goal gives you a distasteful feeling.
> We just never hear about the incidents that didn't happen because a doctor or engineer forced the right solution or no action
And the same is true of software. I and my peers tell my bosses ideas are bad all the time. We don’t need a credential to do that. And the credential is not what gave us trust with that decision maker.
> If anything, the system is too lenient.
Correct. Bad doctors continue to keep their jobs all their time.
So that’s my point. What is the criteria that distinguishes those cases? Both doctors made a medical error. Which one gets off and which one gets fired? The doctor who is more focused on medicine is likely the one less skilled at navigating the legal problem.
The doctors making mistakes and keeping their jobs are a pathological minority that is reinforced by their credential giving them authority to operate.
