What about a crime that was in their job description to have knowledge of? Would a doctor not be liable if he didn't properly diagnose a patient? There is an assumption of minimal professional competency when you assume the responsibility of that role.

Doctors are definitely not liable for misdiagnoses.

I'm pretty sure that you can sue for malpractice should the misdiagnosis fall below a minimum standard of conduct. In practice, misdiagnosis is not easy to prove, but we're talking Boeing executive level of incompetence here.
