    “When competent, sensible people do something stupid, the smartest move is to try to figure out, first, what kept them from seeing it coming and, second, how to prevent the problem from happening again.

Focusing instead on understanding the contribution system allows us to learn about the real causes of the problem, and to work on correcting them.”
