Or, imagine you are on the recruitment team for narrow body f/o's and you have two 25 yr old candidates;
I think that is a really good question but I think it comes down to the strength of that recruitment team. Candidate B may have formed a broad-based experience that will lead to more constructive questioning and analytical thinking in the decision-making process. Candidate A could be more victim to "this is the way we do things". Both of course could fall victim to the normalisation of deviance through their respective experiences.
Always picking A might not lead to the lowest risk in the same way picking B certainly would not.
