A great weekly as usual, Azeem, but I hope no one misinterprets your contrast of contractual checklists with a culture of safety. Checklists are critical to safety. But, they only work when there also is a commitment to safety. I avoid unsafe situations, e.g., in medicine, but I also avoid situations where a checklist is appropriate but is not followed universally. Both are essential. Atul Gawande has written well on this topic.
