One danger in the "what about the rest of the infantry?" mindset is that it's too easy to start generalising the problem - and, consequently, design solutions - to a bigger and bigger extent.

What about other stones inside the encampment that the soldiers can slip on? What about the stones outside of the encampment? Wait, isn't the wall around the encampment MADE OF stones?

And pretty soon you have soldiers cleaning up stones all over the landscape, replacing the wall with solid concrete and designating a stone-cleaning platoon that will go ahead and clean the stones preemptively.

Even bigger danger is convincing yourself that you are the hero that eliminated a "class" of problems without a concrete evidence that the class exists or worth eliminating. After all, everyone is biased to build a story in their mind in which they are the hero.

I've seen too many teams happily investing in stone-cleaning activities while forgetting there's a war out there.
