E: since many are quoting authors preface about not knowing much, but doing their own research
My beef is, given disclaimer, I read piece to end thinking author made good faith effort at research, only to see author characterize, near conclusion, sailor/operator severe lack of sleep hygiene as "drowsiness" which can be designed around. That expecting enforcement of better operational conditions is "stupid", which may feel true in military context. But 7th fleet went from 4 accidents in one year to none after brief operational pause for a month, I dont think the result is because USN bureaucracy figured out a way to improve UXUI on Arleigh Burkes software. Also note the other 6 fleets with... more relaxed tasking relative to west pac weren't suffering from same level of dysfunction. UXUI is important yes, but sometimes operations are ran so badly that you should prioritize improving the way it's run instead of pretending it can be bandaid over with a better checkbox.
