Working in an entirely different industry these days (rail vs aviation), this mindset is commendable, and not just restricted to pilots. The vast majority of railway rules are written in blood, and there are very few new ways to stuff up so, like flying, it is best to learn from those that have gone before you.
Sadly, a lot of driver's these days have no interest beyond the bare minimum they need to get their job done on the day - you tell them about the ATSB/OTSI/NTSB investigation reports and they just look at you like you have 2 heads.
