executioners must have reduced probabilities (or success rates) only
makes sense if all executioners use the same method of execution:

I'm working on a formula for measuring decision making skill and am
trying to estimate the probability that a person of known skill can
distinguish among different response option contrasts and avoid a type
II error. The problem actually breaks down to a rather simple analogy:
