Abstract
Presents recent examples from diverse sets of circumstances with identification of the particular origin that caused the events to occur. Suggests the solution to error avoidance lies in asking the question, “What is the worst that can happen?” If it can happen, it will, and effective action in planning its avoidance must be taken.
