> Every driver thinks of themselves they are an excellent ones. Statistics has another data :)
I think I'm an excellent driver, and I have data that backs that up, like I've never been in an accident but avoided plenty. What statistics show that I'm actually a terrible or even average driver?
> I remember few times that I “accidentally” deleted or changed stuff I wanted to have intact… (Somebody would say that it is a skill issue :) But it was always when I was in hurry.
Gives me flashbacks to when the company I worked for had some issue in production, we were 3-4 people huddled around a laptop trying to figure out what was going wrong. Viewing the logs on the host itself was too slow or not possible somehow, can't remember the details, but we were able to start transfers of the logs out of the host. Only problem was that the log file was GBs long (what is log rotation?) so would have been too slow. Easy, just compress the log file, then send that, should be a lot smaller. Obviously we were all in a rush but still wanna be careful, so I enter the command for compressing the only log file we have, ask for someone to check, other person says "looks good to me", I hit enter and we get an error that it couldn't find the file we were trying to compress, the created archive been created without any entries added to it. The log directory is now completely empty, except one tiny "errors.log" zip/tar-file that had been created when we accidentally used the wrong order of the arguments in our command to create the compressed archive. I think we had to recreate the host at this point, reproduce the issue then get the logs again, probably slowing down recovery +30 min at least.
on a similar note... what statistics show the accident rate of each model of car? or rather, a single driver's accident rate in various types of cars?

The statistics showing that past performance doesn't guarantee feature results, that a lot of the accident avoiding could be just having luck while still driving badly, and that a lot of drivers overestimate their skills.
