Abstract

How do you measure the social impact of human error? Research is not immune from failed reasoning directly or indirectly resulting in negative impact. But experts’ knowledge isn’t always explicit or easily accessible. Gordon Rugg outlines the Verifier approach as a method for analysing expert reasoning. Human beings make much the same types of error regardless of their intelligence, expertise and field and this is demonstrated by applying the Verifier approach to previously undecipherable manuscripts.
