There is (or at least should be) *NO* excuse for failure to think in any
situation. I'm not saying that anyone here didn't think, but I sat this as a
general statement.

ROTFL! I have that as a bumper sticker on my car...
IMnsHO, a lack of knowledge / education can be cured. This is inb most
cases what is happenning. Stupidity is a *willfull* lack of knowledge /
education. There is no excuse there....
Or, to paraphrase Sun Tzu, 'If I give an order and it is not heeded, it
may be that I was not clear. If this happens repeatedly, with variation
in wording, it is because someone is not listenning to me.' (I will look
up the translated quote if anyone wants me to.)

A varient on "Think Twice, Do once", my father taught me "Measure
Twice, Cut once." (He was a carpenter.)
