Primes¶
- Antifragility
- Listed in the references but not attached to a specific claim.
- Common Ground
- Recognising this prevents the error of assuming that "everyone has seen it" suffices for safe joint action, when in fact additional confirmation rounds are required — which is why crew-resource-management and surgical timeouts build in repeated explicit confirmations.
This sourceDescribes crew resource management, whose explicit confirmation protocols (read-backs, callouts) build repeated common ground in the cockpit.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The abstract establishes only that CRM training teaches behavioural error countermeasures; it does not state the read-back/callout confirmation mechanism, common ground, or surgical timeouts.
“The error management approach defines behavioral strategies taught in CRM as error countermeasures that are employed to avoid error, to trap errors committed, and to mitigate the consequences of error.”

- Procedure-Work Mismatch
- Crew Resource Management, born from cockpit incidents where the procedure-practice gap killed people, transferred to operating-theatre teamwork and ICU rounding.

The abstract covers CRM training's evolution in commercial aviation only, including its shift from cockpit to crew resource management; it says nothing about operating-theatre or ICU teamwork.

Domain-specific¶
- Active Failure

- Assembly Bonus Effect
- After accident investigations in the 1970s (notably the 1978 United 173 fuel-exhaustion crash) traced disasters to crews in which a captain's error went unchallenged, airlines restructured the cockpit as an error-correcting team: first officers and engineers are trained and authorized to cross-check, question, and correct the captain, and standardized challenge-and-response callouts institutionalize the checking
This sourceThe documented shift in commercial aviation from cockpit to crew resource management and its error-management rationale - training crews to avoid, trap and mitigate error - which is the error-correcting-team restructuring described here; the 1970s accident history and the callout procedures are not established by this source.

- It is the deliberate version of the tradition, strongest in aviation, of generalizing accident findings into transferable crew behaviors.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 4 of 9 citations: 4 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
