In terms of learning from experience, this is certainly correct. An extreme example would watching someone trying to solve a maths expression, busily cancelling the 6s out of "16/64" and making multiple conceptual mistakes that all cancel out to give the right answer. It's probably correct to give them no answer.
Whereas in your case, it's sufficiently complicated that you can't be SURE the errors are coincidence, it's possible that "subconscious sabotage" was an exaggeration, but maybe you tried to avoid the bad consequences, and that led to messing up the implementation.
I'm inclined to count fortuitous outcomes positively :) |
