Numerous studies indicate what I said is true. There is a whole field of research and investigation into incidents concerning when humans make errors. Aviation, Medical, Nuclear, and Transportation are very interested in reducing errors (and I'm a trained root cause investigator in the nuclear power industry. This is the same kind of investigation that the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) does for major transportation accidents (and I've had the same training as those people).
If you've never done it before - and you have to think about it - the error rate is very high (between 30 and 50%).
You want workers working in their routine and from their trained habits to minimize mistakes; because in certain industries mistakes cost lives, huge amounts of money, or both.
I've seen lots of people make mistakes just by going off habit
It's possible that study and my golden median are more similar than different
As for the work industry, it makes sense they want monotony and efficiency and have found a way to scientifically explain away thinking for their employees
But as far as humanity goes, doing the same mindlessly repetitive tasks isn't really healthy and still leads to mistakes
A few thousand years ago we had to figure out how to get fruit and meat, and it wasn't by going to the same bush and feeding ground every day
I agree that the first few times will probably fail, but after utilizing critical thinking and deductive reasoning skills, a hunter gatherer can develop talent
