Does anybody on Hacker News think they could design a system with a 0% error rate?
Whenever you design a system like this, it's just a matter of time before a mistake is made.
Small errors don't necessarily mean that the whole system should be gotten rid of.
If there's a benefit to the system existing you might want to consider adding an undo feature [0] or simply using it less.
It's becoming pretty clear to me that system designers are needed at a government bureaucracy level.
[0] Other UX features like authorisation or confirmation boxes would decrease the error rate but not zero it.
