Operant Conditioning 101: behavior is controlled by its consequences, but
most IT depts are skilled at dodging those consequences (which reinforces
THAT behavior), so nothing changes/improves. The problem that management
has is determining whether any given admin "crime" is worthy of the death
sentence, since a firing impacts morale and often requires a new (expensive)
hire. I see two places where improvement could be made: 1)upgrade the
multitude of admins (not fast or easy or cheap), or 2)upgrade the product's
ability to keep ITSELF patched (which is Microsoft's baby). There seems to
be a certain efficiency in #2.

Some mistakes are worse than others. The worse the mistake, the harsher
the punishment.
Sometimes people need to be fired.

If firing someone or cutting off somebody's head for any mistake was an
answer, you'd have heard bombs by now!
