    Anyone that believes they're completely 100% infallible to this scenario is kidding themselves.
    Also, no one is suggesting it as an excuse to escape blame, it's just part of why it happens.
    Error due to human factors are a well studied and understood fact. We use this knowledge to change the way in which we reach conclusions and make decisions.

    Expansion on how to 'identifying your target' needs to be hunter driven.
    Is this a game animal yes/no doesn't cut it.
    Is this another hunter? Is it a deer? What type of deer is it? What sex is the deer? Is this another hunter? Why am I sure I'm looking at a deer?

    The brain can and will try to rationalise what the eyes see and ears hear in order to come up with favourable outcomes. Some people are more susceptible and things like fatigue, past experience, expectation and mood come into play also.

    Anyone ever been sitting at the traffic lights, you zone out a little and the truck in the lane next to you starts rolling forwards on a filter light and you almost put the brake pedal through the floor because you think your rolling backwards relative to the other traffic.
    For a split second you were positive your stationary vehicle was moving.
    Pointer, GWH, Spudattack and 2 others like this.
