They are 100%
as you are only seeing what you want to see probably clouded by your arrogance towards other contributors, many of which may have significantly more experience than you.
I objectively see it as it is. I touch of arrogance can come with 100% certaintly.
I am at a level higher than all here
Really? Interesting as you don't know the backgrounds of many of the people you are so quick to dismiss
I am graduate design engineer not an arm wacing plumber.
... You wouldn't be David Icke would you?
And all those repiles with big heads - a few on this forum I see.
As I said, many professions prove competancy BEFORE certification i.e. the old adage learn, watch, do under supervision (maybe many times in the case of a surgeon for example) then get certified to do alone.
That is not competency. That is qualifications. A ticket into the job. Competency is your results.
Do you seriously believe that airline pilots are
not considered competent to fly an aircraft until they have flown their first flight with passengers?
Yes. Being all alone and in charge is different to being No. 2.
Their competency is proved long before action.
Doctors, pilots and a few others have serious OJT under supervision to assess the future competence of the man or woman when finally let loose on the public.
Their ability to fly a plane or play with peopel's bodies has been assessed under supervision. The on-the-job/theory narrows it down until the final days he is No.1. Being 100% competent only comes when he is No. 1 in the plane.
I'm not saying Corgi does it this way but that would be a failing of Corgi and not the ability to prove competency before action.
Corgi is a joke and short changes the public. The old Gas Board 5 year apprenticeships were similar to the pilot, doctor supervised OJT/theory setup, which can whittle out potential incompetence before being let loose on the public. Nevertheless, competence is only proven by results, not by prior supervised OJT or qualifications or whatever.
Competence in doing the job alone and prior qualifications are not the same thing.

In many areas of "qualification" the emphasis is on doing the task by the book.

The people needed in this scenario are as Water System says those with analytical skills who can design a new safe and effective procedure for the scenario. These sort of people who may have written "The Book" but did not at the time foresee this particular scenario. Often these people are not qualified and because they are not qualified they have more open minds to look at and consider innovation in procedures.

Nice post Bernard. Analytical skills can come more naturally to some than others. People who have been educated to "think", as the UK higher education system encourages, tend to be better at this. Unfortunately in the education levels under, they are "trained". They are trained to "do" things.
Look at the British. Great inventors, scientists etc. At the top level unmatched over 200 years. Yet on the lower levels others countries walk all over us.
The UK system is geared for the higher levels to think and the lower levels to do. It is ingrained in the education system.
