Ain't that a good thing for human race? In history when kings hired incompetent generals, disloyal subordinates, bullying common people, they paid the price with their own lives. Farmers who failed to tend their crop and bad luck due to harsh climates died of famine. Vikings, pirates who pillaged wrong targets got annihilated. Why should we put ourselves as a special caste?


There is also the case with the good surgeons and the bad surgeons....

Well a good surgeon would always take a safe & sure case, where he would almost succeed.

A "bad" surgeon would take the impossible (to save life, limb, etc.) cases, and he would fail way more...

Now really - who's good and who's bad?

If your child or you has something really terrible that's almost impossible (but still there is chance) to cure, whom of the "good" surgeons is going to help you?


Am I to assume that you are volunteering to be the test pilot for our new "if the deadline is missed or there are too many bugs the dev team is executed" zero-defect policy?


Because it's in our nature to help someone in trouble.
