I was told many moons ago we need to be error conscious, not necessarily error free.
Sounds like good advice in that aimimg for something that is impossible will only frustrate you.
Every single human being makes mistakes every single day. Some make less than others but nobody is error free (I think we all know that and I don't think Amos was saying he is something special).
It should be all of our goals to reduce the number of errors we do make at work. The best way to do that is to recognise which situations we and our workmates are most likely to make mistakes in, and then keep an eye out for them. When we spot one. Lsow down or unload some pressure.
My take is that that is exactly what successful and experienced pilots have always done, it's just now that CRM is teaching it formerly and the youngsters can accelerate towards that skill level faster than if they learnt it the hard way.
