Unfortunately I don't find that most software engineers understand the difference between actually determining costs and benefits and choosing to make certain tradeoffs and rationalizing whatever choice they already made.
I think that's ok, For me, it's more about "change the system, instead of ignoring it".
Once you change the system (document/rules/alerts/etc), then if it breaks, you change it again and learn the lesson. Both are conscious decisions by the org.
