😀 A good question, chuck, learning from mistakes is good, but even governments don’t seem to learn.
Another problem is the constant arrival of fresh, young, inexperienced people, who have made few mistakes yet, but will go through the never ending learning curve and hopefully learn from their own errors.
A good example at government level, are the UK foot and mouth epidemics of 1967, 2001.
Apparently, nothing was learned from the 67 outbreak or it was forgotten, which resulted in a serious epidemic that should have been contained.
Maybe DEFRA (Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs) learned something, in 2007 an outbreak was contained.
Dr Iain Anderson was asked by the Government to chair a review of the Government’s reaction to the 2007 Foot and Mouth Disease Outbreak. Dr Anderson conducted an inquiry into the 2001 outbreak. He was asked to review his lessons drawn from the 2001 outbreak and identify any others arising from the current outbreak.
No mention of 1967.
“Once is a mistake, twice is stupidity.”
We live and learn?:rolleyes:
