Having a record allows all kinds of automated followup, post analysis, etc. This level of business intelligence and actual understanding is helpful in improving organisation function and individual training long term.
Asynchronous is _a_ great next step beyond that:
Moving discussions and decisions async has been a massive improvement in the organisations I have helped. Goes against dogma and habit (with all the huge obstacles that come with it) but pays off quickly.
Discussions are more factual and evidence based.
Decisions are thought through and transparent.
Collective (and individual) memory of what has been discussed, decided, and why is much better.
Training people to be clear, succinct, transparent also help them not get bogged down in gut feeling, habit, dogma, ego, posturing, pestering, politics, etc.
And of course the immediate bonus of individually flexible scheduling and not killing efficiency by slicing everything to administration/manager-mode-time.
It is an uncomfortable risk for many, to back a likely long term winner over a sure current cash cow. Even if their own estimates say they should go for it. See it all the time.
And to make it even more short sighted, the idea won't go away, it will just take a little longer and then pop up in competing colours.
Standards change greatly with time and it is a joke to believe that applying the same standards to everyone will get a good outcome.
Anecdata: I would have loved to get the possibility to study higher math at high school level, at school. I had to dig it out on my own since the local school topped out after basic calculus, linalg, statistics. I was not alone.
Today I would estimate that top 5% could easily and happily handle multivariate, ode/pde, etc in high school given proper support and encouragement.
Top few percent learn several times faster than average. What is the point, other than ancient ideology, to slow them down and hinder their learning progress?
Somehow we collectively forget/ignore that coal power releases many times the radioactivity of nuclear power, and that is just dumped directly into the air. The numbers are not directly apples to apples but absolutely lead to more life/health loss from fossil nuclear radiation contamination than fission nuclear radiation contamination.
The author said scaling up nuclear would result in 26 more disasters, so if you're trying to beat coal in the radiation department then scaling up nuclear is a good way to do it.
Now do it again but add a bar for Kadapa a bar for sellafield and a bar for la hague rather than comparing the outside of a nuclear plant that is not being refueled and (unlike most of them) is not leaking tritium.
Then consider that the people you're trying to pull this straw man against want coal even less.
As long as the checklist catches more costly errors than the time to use it and the (very likely) negative secondary effects to critical thinking and innovation.
Love tools that help, eg checklists, when used right.
But over time they have a very strong tendency to become set-in-stone dogma, at which time they will create a priesthood and a very large dead zone where thinking and flexibility is no longer allowed.
I wonder about the actual numbers here, and how they vary between cultures, regions, age groups, etc. From what I see from my single female friends 20% is waaay too high. Not trying to be a jerk here, just observation.
