Mistakes happen they are a part of life. Does making a mistake make one absolutely incompetent? Probably not.

Does premeditated failure to 100% perform ones duties make them incompetent or derelict? I'd say derelict.

Does regular failure to get the job done right and in a proper manner make one incompetent? Yes.

Does taking $600 Million in yearly compensation make one responsible to make no mistakes, no errors, foresee all business pitfalls, etc. It should? And if you take the money to be a Know All See All CEO then you can be said to be both incompetent and derelict.

Personally, nothing infuriates me more than incompetence and laziness. It should be outlawed.

The Constitution prohibits vague laws. There aren't any words more vague than lazy or incompetent.

Sun Tzu,

OK, here's an example. I know a doctor who got the results back from a biopsy and failed to contact the patient. It was 6 months before the mistake was discovered. A person's life was on the line, should that doctor go to jail for what was obviously negligence?
