This is useful for some cases, but terrible advice if the stakes are high. I would love to see a follow-up after 6 weeks

Useful intention, poor execution. That is where the boring checklist helps

Beautifully put. I needed that reminder today. I care less about teh perfect answer and more about repeatability. The small imperfections make it feel human
