The constant thread running through accident reports is that the paperwork was wrong.

Only two things can cause this.

Either:

A Being slack with paperwork makes you crash.
or
B People who are slack with their paperwork are more likely to crash.
I disagree.
My experience, based upon reading hundreds of accident reports over a few decades, is that investigations almost invariably disclose inaccuracies in paperwork.
However, the same is true of investigations for other (non accident) purposes.
It is extremely rare that very close scrutiny of any human activity fails to disclose inaccuracies in paperwork.


In relation to accidents:
Far more often than not, the inaccuracies had no bearing whatsoever, directly or indirectly, upon the accident.
