Hello Janice, hello PPIGers,
I like that question.
Here are my personal suggestions (one penny each):
1. How can I detect when I am about to make a mistake?
(For many of them it is possible in principle.)
2. How can I overcome cognitive biases when trying to detect
defects (in particular: omissions) in an artefact?
These questions are very general and fundamental, quite important in
practice, and contain a lot of psychology.
