Michael, I agree with you.
Technologies are as good as the people who use
them. Regulators and organisational stakeholders have always been good at
reactive measures rather than proactive. Once systems start working, stake
holders take their feet off the pedal and are only re-awakened by the failure
events/accidents. In most of the world’s
accidents, human error (due to lack of knowledge/inexperience, shear
negligence, complacency, ego, etc) has been the primary cause.
