Nobody makes mistakes on purpose

In research in human behavior there is a common assumption; nobody makes mistakes on purpose. This fact is not only important for researchers. A lot of people have the assumption that certain mistakes are only made by 'stupid' people or at least others and not them. People think they won't make mistakes because they are experienced, they are smart enough or what ever reason they can think of. Nobody makes mistakes on purpose. People do what seemed right at the moment. If you made a mistake on purpose, it's not a mistake but sabotage.

When was the last time you did something smart, that might not have been so smart? Realize you are just human and you also make mistakes. Check and recheck your self. If possible do a buddycheck. Put markings or other 'red flags' on your equipment.
