It's telling to examine the similarities in emotional and computing vulnerabilities.

Many of the same security problems that existed in IPv4's implementation were not corrected in IPv6 (buffer overflows). One careless programmer can make a hundred thousand problems down the line with a brief lapse of attention (bounds checking). Constant vigilance and repeated testing of personal defenses are the only sure methods of safety.

And safety is a target in motion.

Generally speaking: how many times do you have to make the same mistake before you learn? Only once? Twice?

A hundred times?

You can't really talk generally about that. It depends on the mistake.

Dude, did you just compare emotions to computer programming?

Is it an unreasonable comparison?

What kind of mistake?

It depends on that and the person making it, I think.

I would rather not be explicit.

[but there's always encryptions. And exceptions.]

If it were a mistake with prior consequences that led to death.

It is relative to the consequences associated with repeating the mistake and the potential benefits should the action prove to not be in error.

Sound reasoning. There is value even in errors.

I usually cheat. If I can't, no more than once. [beat] I like to think.

What is this about?

Cheat, how?

It has a wide range of applications in these troubled times.

I find your comparison logical enough, Ghost.
As an adaptive sentient program, I generally only make a mistake once.
However, emotions are not subject to the same predictable laws as other things.

It must be a constant source of frustration for you.

Ironically.

I'm not sure there is a 'generally speaking' when it comes to mistakes.

Depends on the nature of the mistake, I suspect.

[a long meditative pause]

No one has told you in detail what happened while you were gone.

It depends on the what trouble you get into for the mistake. If it's bad enough trouble, you only got to make it once before you'll learn better.

Logically, that does follow. Pain and suffering as a deterrent.
