This quote demonstrates a lack of understanding of making decisions in the presence of uncertainty and the processes and events that create uncertainty. There is naturally occurring variability from uncontrolled processes. Aleatory uncertainty is expressed as a process variability. First, let's establish a principle.

Software development is (generally speaking) very complex. Attention is the process of selectively concentrating on one aspect while ignoring other aspects. It is a mental process and a limited mental resource (Ashcraft, 2002). Together, these three considerations accommodate a process called self-organization.

Edmondson (2012) argues that dynamic teaming is important to share and encourage learning. This is also what inspired Edmondson (2012) in her academic work on “teaming”. Even a single change in team membership can disrupt that process, and consequently, make it harder for teams to become high-performing sooner.

The fallacy happens when we conclude from this that punishment works, and rewards don’t (Defulio, 2012). Survival bias happens when failures are ignored when you are evaluating if a process or decision is the right one (Schermer, 2014). But the fact that some candidates “survived” the process isn’t enough to conclude that it works.
