If you get these confused and hurt Robert Smith you should be fired. Stop normalising incompetence!

Robert Michael Smith - 12/10/1954

Gerard George Smith - 12/10/1954

The incompetence here is that a single human being reading this document could make a mistake that would do exactly that.

The human is guaranteed to make a mistake, just as you are.

God forbid your mistake is only the serious matter of embarrassing an elderly person and needing to have your company apologize and make restitution and not putting software on an aircraft that causes it to fly nose first into the ground killing everyone on board.

Would you like me to draw a picture of how the person shouldn't be fired, the entire system should change?
