Imagine being woken up at 4am and told to get on the ground while you get arrested, treated like a criminal, threatened, have guns pointed at you and then told … sorry … wrong house … waddaygonnado

This is stuff you would expect in a third world country.

    and the distribution is usually pretty standard across all fields.

    Citation needed.

    You really think a highly trained and tightly controlled job like air traffic controller screws up at the same rate as the high school kids stacking crackers at the grocery store?

      Yes, and no. The difference is that ATC has processes in place to mitigate the mistakes and others to recover from them as quickly as possible. End result is that most people will never notice.

      On average, people’s brains don’t fully develop until 25, so teenagers are expected to make more mistakes.

      But the distribution of people making mistakes appears to be relatively even, the difference being what the processes in place enable/prevent.

      And I’m going to be lazy and not cite anything.

        Then I guess there’s no reason for me to believe you aren’t talking out your ass.
