Dear Group: Just some thoughts about "errors" - in line with Hal's post:
1) Assume that errors are a function of our humanness, and while they can be
reduced, they will not be eliminated.
2) Engage the whole group in finding ways to recover from the errors.
Correcting many errors "privately" (using deep private logic) tends to breed
new errors.
3) Encourage effort more than performance outcomes, for if the "supportive
error correction process" is in place, more will be learned with more effort.
Perfectionistic striving leads to more obsessing and less output.
4) Complexity thinking (non-linear thinking) is "error-prone" and in line
with human nature. We cannot violate human nature and get away with it.
