ABSTRACT
As soon as we put down lines between different categories of behavior we create a problem of boundaries. When does an error become at risk behavior? Or, for that matter, reckless? Where exactly does an act cross that line? The examples in this book should hopefully have been clear enough. These are matters of judgment and degree, not data and dichotomy. If the same act can fall into both categories at the same time, then having those categories is not very useful. The whole point of categorization is that acts are uniquely one or the other, because it is that assignment that lays out what are legitimate responses or countermeasures.2
