[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 7928336, member: 2525"] At my company when someone accidentally makes the wrong size robes for a couple of hours (which happens because we're humans), it's a minor issue. We correct it and move on. Nobody makes a huge deal out of it. It's not that it "doesn't matter" it's that "it doesn't matter enough to make a deal out of it". Different products and services involve different levels of tolerances for errors, depending on the risks involved with their usage. An alpha release for an entertainment piece of software which screws up a beta release for a few hours is not something worth making a deal out of and is roughly around the same level of issue as us making the wrong size robes for a few hours, because the risk of serious harm to people for both is extremely low. It's definitely not in the league of planes crashing or bank account software crashing which are extremely high and high (respectively) in terms of risk to humans. We also, as a society, tend to pay people a lot more money if their decisions concern extremely high risk products, and much lower if they concern extremely low risk products (on average, though there are of course exceptions like movie stars and athletes). This variance in tolerance levels should be obvious. Your ability to pay attention to detail should have informed you about this tolerance level variance issue. You appear to be experiencing an error. Should we make a deal out of it? Should we compare your error to planes crashing because you seem to have glitched on noticing that tolerance levels vary by usage for high risk versus low risk products? [/QUOTE]
