pls8xx,
First of all, I agree with a lot of what you say. I also find your system very good, and sure will use it. Thank you for sharing your experience with us
The only thing that I don't fully agree with, is that it would lead to 0 errors (not doubting it might have worked with you). Our brain is made in such a way that in some cases, we'll hear "turn right", think "turn right", repeat "turn right" and happily turn
left
. We sometimes see and hear what we
expect
to see and hear. In case you don't know it already, have a look at
James Reason
's
Human Error
and
Absent Minded?: Psychology of Mental Lapses and Everyday Errors
.
It is indeed possible to reduce to a minimun the risk of error, using checklists and other tools, but not to 0 I'm afraid, especially in case of fatigue or other issues that could affect the performance.
