One of Toyota's mantras is "If the student has failed to learn, the teacher has failed to teach." Their point is that managers are responsible for solving issues that come from employee ignorance, not line workers.

I do understand that humans don't have an instinctual understanding of using nipples, human babies have a physical sucking reflex that kicks in when you put anything near their mouths. They usually quickly learn that sucking a nipple in a particular way gives out lots of yummy milk.

I find this hard to believe. At some point a person in a space suit was introducing them into a clean room; she should have noticed that the packages were not sealed.

There's a good chance a tamper revealing seal would have stopped the clerk from opening the containers, and of course it they'd been broken before reaching the people at the fab lines who were supposed to open them that would have clued Intel into the problem before any went into production and would have allowed them to quickly trace the problem back upstream.

Or in this case energy, ignorance, and not learning enough of the big picture, or wondering why these wafers were sealed in air tight containers in the first place.

It's the well meaning mistakes that tend to be the most dangerous since most people are of good will, or at least don't want to kill the company and lose their jobs.
