I consider you lucky if you think the attitude about 'just fire the people that made mistakes' is hyperbole. It a common attitude, so when ^^ says it, I believe

  It's a common attitude on the internet, where people will also argue for people to be executed or thrown in jail for trivial slights because it makes their annoyance more visceral. Nobody in their right mind will actually end up doing that when push comes to shove. It can be appropriate to tell people to calm their rhetoric when they do this but I don't see "ok actually 1. there might be a reason and 2. maybe they made a mistake and 3. people who make mistakes should be allowed to learn and 4. …" being very useful.

    Many people "in their right minds" _will_ fire someone simply because of one visible mistake. I criticized the comment because it endorsed such behavior. If you want to research the fraction of people that would, please let me know what you find. Do you think the uncertainty in that fraction would change my decision to respond to the words on the page? When someone tells you what they think, it isn't crazy to believe them.
