Consumer Unit, Flashback, flashback, flashback.

We all make mistakes ebee, memory fails sometimes, I know that it does with me. I have to keep a notebook and diary so that I do not forget things. That is normal. Errors and failures have allowed science and engineering to advance. John Hunter used to remark that the art of surgery would not advance until professional men had the courage to publish their failures as well as their successes. Watt the engineer  said of all things most wanted in mechanical engineering was a history of failures: "What we want is a book of blots." When Sir Humphry Davy was once shown a dexterously manipulated experiment he said-"I thank God that I was not made a dexterous manipulator, for the most important of my discoveries have been suggested to me by failures."


So with us humans, errors and failures have been responsible for later successes, discoveries and improvements.
