Isn't that exactly one of the problems that is being addressed by the expat captains?
In a good working and just safety culture it is important to have a tolerance for failures because every human being makes (a lot of) (minor) mistakes. The idea behind 'tolerating' these failures is because nobody makes them on purpose and the goal is to learn from them so you and other pilots will not make the same mistake again. If there is no tolerance for mistakes and you get shouted at every time you mess something up, you probably will become either too scared to act on your own without first asking/confirming everything with the captain. Or you will just do the same things, make mistakes (as all human beings, even the hocams), but you will have a lot of hesitation to report your mistakes or ask for verification, which makes the whole safety situation worse.
