This is somewhat silly, though. Prevalent conventions are followed by the majority by definition. Such that most of your experience will be with those conventions. Again, by definition of it being prevalent.
I grant that conformity does signal education of the norms. Which can be seen as signaling effort. But I expect it to be so noisy that it will have little predictive power.
- ARandomerDude 4y agoGood drivers follow prevalent conventions, which is what makes them safer drivers.
- taeric 4y agoBad drivers don't follow any conventions. But, and this is what kills the idea, bad drivers also follow all conventions without thought. As such, it is seen at both ends and provides little predictive power.

- pclmulqdq 4y agoBad drivers I have encountered are much more likely to follow the rules of the road to the letter. Good drivers will often break them based on the situation. The difference is situational awareness.
- shanebellone 4y agoGood drivers drive predictably and good engineers code predictably.
