	Should Consequentialists Make Parfit’s Second Mistake? A Refutation of Jackson
		The five ‘mistakes’ are, according to Parfit, misunderstandings that a person can have regarding what should be considered the consequences of an act, or regarding how the moral assessment of an act depends on its consequences.
		Now in claiming that the second ‘mistake’ is a mistake, Parfit surely does not mean to say that there’s a certain tautology that it’s a mistake to embrace.
		In order to understand what Parfit conceives of as the second ‘mistake’, we need to understand the second ‘mistake’ to be a principle to which it’s possible for Parfit to launch an objection that is not logically false, even if we do not later join Parfit in finding the objection to be convincing.

		By Ginger E. Blume, Ph.D. I’d estimate that 5 out of 10 people suffer from a term I’ve coined, “mistake phobia.” A phobia of making mistakes is defined as an irrational fear of making a mistake or error, leading to an avoidance of situations that might result in a perceived sense of failure.
		Each mistake creates either excessive internal shame or embarrassment and results in further risk avoidance in the future.
		They perceive any form of mistake, no matter how minor, as a personal failure.

		The Zero Quality Control System (ZQC) is a mistake proofing approach that prevents defects by monitoring processing conditions at the source and correcting errors that cause defects.

		In this breakthrough approach, mistake proofing devices called poka-yoke are used to check and give feedback about each product or operation in the process, not just a sample.
