Re: Too Many Stories!
Do you really want people who don't understand on their own not to push emergency buttons or activate any controls during a tour to operate expensive and dangerous machinery? There's a certain amount of common sense that becomes an absolute requirement when the dangers of lacking it are big enough. To me, that means that if lacking common sense means the person involved is about to end the day greater one permanent disability or less one coworker, demonstrating too large a lack means it's time for them to go before that can happen. This would also apply with a high enough financial cost. Fortunately, I don't work somewhere where those safety risks are experienced, so the worst that a colleague lacking common sense can do is irritate everyone and slow us down; I can try to train that away.
