@amiloradovsky@functional.cafe @cstanhope what if it's a common mistake you keep repeating? How would you describe that? You fail to implement the knowledge into your subconscious. You fail to execute an algorithm you are clearly capable of executing. You're being stupid. It's fair to ask why is one being stupid while the other is not, but its unfair to call the word meaningless or stigmatize it.

For example:
Simple rule - do not stick your hand in the oven while it's hot. You are very much aware of this. When speaking of oven handling you will often give that advice to others, and yet routinely you keep sticking it, inevitable encountering something that was a bit too hot, reflexively pulling your hand away and hiting the top of the oven where the heating element are. Presumably you consider the scarring that lasts a mere week or two unimpressive, it's not that you are being stupid.
