I was able to run some stats at scale on this and people who make mistakes are more likely to make more mistakes, not less. Essentially sampling from a distribution of a propensity for mistakes and this dominated any sign of learning from mistakes. Someone who repeatedly makes mistakes is not repeatedly learning, they are accident prone.

What if you define a hard rule from this statistics that « you must fire anyone on error one »? Won’t your company be empty in a rather short timeframe? [or will be composed only of doingNothing people?]

Can you elaborate? What scale? What kind of mistakes? This sounds quite interesting.
