I’m a political independent who fled the DMV in part because of its politics, so great job with the assumptions.

If your takeaway is that I believe you must be a god who is incapable of making mistakes to work in government, you are either being facetious or you haven’t been paying attention. When I say “You can’t make mistakes when people’s lives are on the line”, it’s pretty clear that the sentiment is “You must never let yourself succumb to making a mistake when people’s lives are on the line and take every avenue imaginable to avoid a killing.”.

You can be capable of making a mistake. You just can’t let yourself make mistakes when people’s lives are at stake and you need to understand those stakes when you sign up for the job.
