I think you are right. No one is 100% perfect in their job performance. Everyone makes mistakes. Most are small, even trivial, but so can be serious. When the public demands 100% perfect performace, the stress is too great for most people, especially if they are held accountable for any deviation, regardless of degree, from 100% perfection. Bloggers are doing it to journalists and the trial lawyer and patients are demanding it of doctors. The bar that is being set is idealistic and unattainable.
Cry me a river.
A Professional Engineer underdesigns a building, or a bridge span and then they collapse? You are damned right that they are held responsible for 100% perfection.
Does anyone expect to live forever? Do people really hold doctors responsible for this fact of life...
Does any reporter think they can never make a grammatical or spelling error in their entire career, much less an occasional factual error? Do any of their reader really hold them to this level of performance?
However, how often do you enter a building or cross a bridge and think to yourself "Will this thing collapse?" The general public expects that "100% perfection", nor does it consider the bar being set as "idealistic and unattainable" in any way...
