Not true. In 35 years of public service I was held accountable for any error, real or imagined by the people we served, and I spent the last 20 years holding others accountable for error or malfeasance, then designing systems to eliminate the possibility of error. I had friends and acquaintances who worked in private industry who were amazed at how strict we were with our people. A foul up a John Deere or Caterpillar might get you fired. Foul up at my agency, and we might just put you in prison for five years or more.
