abstract="The argument is presented that we too often label human acts which lead to accidents as idiosyncratic rather than as part of the normal variability in expected performance and that this tendency impedes progress in understanding causation. Some choice reaction time data is examined in terms of variability as related to skill, work session length, alcohol stress, sleep deprivation and compatibility. Analytic distributions are examined as to their possible applicability and properties of their far right tails.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
