Another tangent: accident investigation reports can be very thought provoking, as well as interesting in their own right. Chernobyl, both Shuttle accidents, the Deepwater Horizon / Macondo 252, Piper Alpha, and all sorts of air accident investigation reports -- all have lessons, and describe similar patterns of organisational and system design or operation failures or accidents waiting to happen to those in many fellow commentards' workplaces. Recognising them doesn't necessarily help you stop them happening, because the root causes are often many pay grades above one's own., but it does make saying "I told you so" more fun,.
