Here is an interesting article from the aviation world that is pretty directly applicable to climbing and how complacency happens.

Social normalization of deviance means that people within the organization become so much accustomed to a deviant behavior that they don’t consider it as deviant, despite the fact that they far exceed their own rules for the elementary safety. People grow more accustomed to the deviant behavior the more it occurs. To people outside of the organization, the activities seem deviant; however, people within the organization do not recognize the deviance because it is seen as a normal occurrence. In hindsight, people within the organization realize that their seemingly normal behavior was deviant.
Also explains some of my previous places of employment were the way they were...

AJF has worked for me in the past, so yes, he has sold not only his own ass but also that of his firstborn. I like to think of myself as an equal opportunity employer. Damn do I get results though, the board loves me.

I once contracted out an eduardi for a deviance job in my home town of Nowra, but the client wanted his money back.
Damn the jobs that get no results.
I should've guessed it earlier though after reading eduardis job application resume which highlighted many trips up Tiptoe Ridge as its main achievement.
