Who do you think came up with this rule, bleeding heart liberals’? Stop and think for a second, why does that rule exist?

You described a fantasy world, in the real world everyone makes mistakes, and if the mistakes are punished, then there are no mistakes because no one reports them. That is until the mistake is so catastrophic, it cannot be covered up- that’s how you get Chernobyl or Boeing max

Boeing max (if you mean the crashes caused by MCAS) wasn't due to a "mistake" not being reported, it was deliberate and intentional on the part of company management. The system was designed badly and without redundancy, and without any information available to the pilots about its very existence, specifically because management wanted it that way. It wasn't caused by some kind of accident.
