      “Normalization of deviance,” a conceptual framework due to organizational sociologist Diane Vaughan, might help understand the current shaky state of science. https://sma.nasa.gov/docs/default-source/safety-messages/safetymessage-normalizationofdeviance-2014-11-03b.pdf?sfvrsn=c5421ef8_4 …pic.twitter.com/fVfZeZkGeW

      Deviance from systematic error-prevention rules gets normalized when a community of practice repeatedly recovers from near-disasters. That gives the impression that the rules were unreasonably strict, and you can walk closer to the line in future… https://gnssn.iaea.org/NSNI/SC/TM_ITO/Presentations/Cook_System%20Safety_Why%20is%20it%20so%20difficult.pdf …pic.twitter.com/qkDe8kyvDH

      Management pressures front-line workers to do more. Feeling overworked, they want to expend less effort where feasible. Safety checks are easy to jettison because, nearly always, nothing really bad happens. https://gnssn.iaea.org/NSNI/SC/TM_ITO/Presentations/Cook_System%20Safety_Why%20is%20it%20so%20difficult.pdf …pic.twitter.com/vuZrkAluGN

      Management—in the science analogy, the senior figures in the field who edit the journals and make the funding decisions—justifies what would previously have been considered deviance using group-think strategies, “for the benefit of the field overall.” https://sma.nasa.gov/docs/default-source/safety-messages/safetymessage-normalizationofdeviance-2014-11-03b.pdf?sfvrsn=c5421ef8_4 …pic.twitter.com/GBKyYvqCq6

      David Chapman Retweeted Nick Brown

      Once deviance is normalized, most participants don’t even notice it. They learned the notional rules, but those are obviously and routinely ignored, without any negative consequences, so they live in a separate mental compartment.https://twitter.com/sTeamTraen/status/1186058105039347713 …

      One of the difficulties in looking for plagiarism on Google is that you look for cases where B copied A and then find where C and D also copied A, E and F copied B, G copied B's plagiarism of A, and H through K copied F. It's a never-ending spiral of cheating.

      Defending against system failures (including those revealed in the science replication crisis) is feasible only when it’s part of everyone’s job. https://how.complexsystems.fail/ pic.twitter.com/lrAlulzWPV

      Individual failures are visible only to people actually doing the work—not to higher-ups. Scientists in the trenches know most journal articles they see are nonsense (and must find informal ways of weeding them out). Editors measure citations instead https://gnssn.iaea.org/NSNI/SC/TM_ITO/Presentations/Cook_System%20Safety_Why%20is%20it%20so%20difficult.pdf …pic.twitter.com/SBiTd2PrrT

      The work of reform, to make a system resilient to sources of error, is necessarily meta-rational: working on the system from outside. It necessarily depends on circumrational understanding: how the system interacts with its non-systematic environment. https://how.complexsystems.fail pic.twitter.com/WG1LhlmC99

          Understanding the details of individual cases of deviance is the first step in generalizing into an understanding of failures in systematic processes. A culture of openness is key both to gaining that understanding and to ongoing error prevention. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25742063 pic.twitter.com/L8nSgLrFXA

          “Safety clutter”: bureaucratic procedures in the name of reducing risk that don’t, or maybe even increase it. h/t @Dioptre Scientific grant process aims to avoid funding bad work, but doesn’t, and significantly decreases the amount of good work. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/14773996.2018.1491147?journalCode=tphs20 …pic.twitter.com/eZcpSloqEd

          This sounds like the reasoning behind systems engineering (the mgmt discipline). It's legacy of origin in aerospace gave it a very waterfall sort of feel when I was exposed to it. At least it has the system of systems perspective.
