Does this fit the definition for 'normalisation of deviance' provided by Capn Bloggs a few posts above? ("Normalised deviation means deviating from published (perportedly safe) procedures, with no adverse consequences, so the deviations continue. In this case, it's pretty obvious that the "published procedures" were flawed in the first place.") I think it does but .... that's why I'm asking.
