Depends on what it is. Failure can cause harm to others. Do we want bad safety inspectors, cops, or educators?

Doing bad safety inspections is still better than doing none at all tho...

Soft disagree, if you know that no inspection has been done, then you are aware that there may be unknown risks and act accordingly. A safety inspection done poorly creates a false sense of security that can be dangerous.

Failing at something is one of the most effective ways for humans to learn, grow and achieve success.

It is when we learn from ours and others mistakes that we can achieve higher levels of intellect to determine how to be smarter, more kind, make better decisions, be better at our jobs etc for the next time...

Look at history to see how good things have come from massive failures.

We can't escape failure in life and we cannot always control the consequences or fallout from our decisions/actions, but we can keep trying. That is what the above quote is all about.

But education isn't something we need to reinvent.

We already made mistakes we can learn from.
