A tad harsh I fear. People make mistakes .. and hopefully learn from them.
I admit to once taking off with the pitot cover still on. If we didn't make mistakes and learn there would be no "I learned about flying from that".
If in a moment of inattention I mounted a kerb in my car ... oops no harm done nothing further happens but it's a wake up call.
If there had been a bus queue there and I'd killed 3 kids of course it would have been different.
