I don't think train drivers earns high pay because of risk, but rather it takes a long time to properly train train drivers (especially freight trains), there is scarcity of skill, and the potential damages of a train crash warrants pa

It should be stated that iterative development does come with a cost in that it takes longer to execute than the ideal case sequential development. You trade risk reduction for more work.

I didn't make a statement as the parent as to the effects of punishment. Making statements requires proof, making extraordinary statements requires exteaordi ary proof.
