Not sure I agree. My grandpa had a saying: "It's impossible to make things fool-proof because fools are so ingenious." No matter how many safety checks you add

Not sure I agree. My grandpa had a saying: "It's impossible to make things fool-proof because fools are so ingenious." No matter how many safety checks you add to a system, someone will find a way to fuck it up.
- SixSigma 11y agoThat is not an excuse for letting sloppiness of thought introduce risk. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poka-yoke https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poka-yoke Poka-yoke (ポカヨケ?) is a Japanese term that means "mistake-proofing". A poka-yoke is any mechanism in a lean manufacturing process that helps an equipment operator avoid (yokeru) mistakes (poka). Its purpose is to eliminate product defects by preventing, correcting, or drawing attention to human errors as they occur. The concept was formalised, and the term adopted, by Shigeo Shingo as part of the Toyota Production System. It was originally described as baka-yoke, but as this means "fool-proofing" (or "idiot-proofing") the name was changed to the milder poka-yoke.
