I agree. I had a great dentist, but he still made a mistake. You can be absolutely great, fantastic and highly competent and trained, and STILL make a mistake. In fact as you get better and better, the chances for making a mistake often go up as often do the consequences. Fun fact, my wife was doing the first commercial biopharmaceutical for Cetus, now Genetech, back in the 80s. Huge vats of materials with millions on the line with each batch. She hired an ex explosives disposal guy! No mistakes on his watch nor hers.
