There seems to be some of kind of bias in establishing trust when it comes to quality. If someone sees a high quality work, the judgemental fuse gets triggered and the person who is judging probably tries to give them priority compared to someone who hasn't.

I had a discussion with a friend and he gave a good example. There are some people (A) who do 55% of the work (5% more than the expected) and display that in really good quality. Then there are others (B), who want to achieve 95% plus but end up getting 45%. Now from the perspective of someone who doesn't know what is going on, the 55% seems to be doing better than the 45%. Therefore, the person A will now snowball into a more opportunity, while person B gets discouraged because they wanted to do hard thing.

So, instead if B did what A did in a good way, the trust and judgement of B would have increased. There is no reward in society for trying and "failing". There is only reward for taking risk and succeeding. Probably it incentivizes people to follow into a path that can attract others.

Disclaimer: These are my opinions and they have their own biases.
