Well, I certainly hope the surgeon who is doing my surgery next month doesn't subscribe to this philosophy.[/quote]

Really?  If there is a complication - which DOES, of course, happen - you want your surgeon to just get a bad review and then move on to the next surgery?  Or would you rather he fix his errors and keep working until he has mastered the issue?[/quote]

NP. If he's that bad at getting things right the first time, I want him to have been weeded out before he ever got a degree. Medical school is not the time to experiment with pedagogy. If you can't pass the tests the first time, goodbye. There are probably 5 equally capable people for the seat you took.

Nor do I want the guy building the bridges I'm driving on or the gal who calculated where to put the load-bearing walls in my house to get multiple mess-ups, or the lawyer who's handling my vehicular manslaughter trial. There is a point to rewarding those who get the right answers the first time. We want kids to master the critical material but in spite of what we were told at age 6, not everyone is cut out to do everything and some weeding out is necessary.[/quote]

Tell Microsoft that, they roll out products with tons of issues all the time and then send out patches. If they didn't do that we would still be at Windows 3.1. [/quote]
