Can you contextualize who you are, so that I can better understand “us”? You mention seriousness as an absolute virtue, but if it fires people for a harmless, easily correctable mistake in an internal tool, it is just misguided and an excuse especially if it “happens” to serve some ulterior motive.

Your ASCII dinosaur hypothetical is a good way to think about it, and I wouldn't be surprised or outraged if that also resulted in the offender being fired.
