I think you have point. And, a key advantage I can imagine is that "checklists" could be implemented into code over time and that is potentially superior to natural language. I am not a crypto expert though.

Stark reminder on the importance of quality control and checking the work twice. I think people sometimes become complacent with work completed in the virtual environment vs the physical world.

yes. Reminds me of something a friend said a while ago: "You know how I became a great coder after 3 years? By being a bad coder for 3 years."

If it were this easy, software would not have bugs.

Except checklists often ... just get checked.

c.f. people checking t&c's becuase they can't be bothered to read them (/sympathetic).
