Hard to make judgments on the unknown. Easy to think myself more capable in one area or less capable in another. Sober assessment of ones abilities and how they change over time with increased stress and pressure is not always possible.
Some might be trained 70% for something then are thrown into a tough situation and make the best of it. Now their 70% plus experience could be greater than someone trained 95%.
How the chips fall matter, real world experience is different than classroom experience.
I am not always a sober assessor of my own abilities. I can help relay a message.
Words spoken under oppression, stress, and duress are unwise to hold people accountable for later. Easy to not see all that is going on at ground level.
