Took many years for one to understand people can be malicious and or incompetent at the same time, but the key lesson was understanding the liability is the same.

At sea, we were told the legal system does not make a distinction for the maritime zones. If you make a mistake and someone dies, than it is considered a murder rather than manslaughter or criminal negligence.
