My thinking is that if a person thought that theres no way that they could make this mistake, then it will not always be at front of mind. Whereas if we think that we all have the potential to make this mistake, then surely that must scare us to a certain degree and always be front of mind and we put our own proccedure in place where we perform multiple checks to confirm beyond all doubt that what we are about to shoot is indeed the intended target.

Yea.... the person that knows they won't ever shoot a human in the Bush is more dangerous than the person who wouldn't put it past themselves... do you guys actually think before you open your mouths/type things?
