Its possible people just see things differently. While you are on a crusade to find and animal that has antlers that measure over a random self imposed limit others are happy to be out enjoying the sound of roaring stags and take home some meat. On those merits alone I don't see either as any measure of experience or lack there of.

They are over excited and incompetent and have got away with bad habits for years.
Cognitive bias is a bullshit copout imo. It is just a scientific excuse for stupidity.

You could be right, and then again you could be wrong. Every indecent will have factors that set it apart form the last and the root cause could vary dramatically so your assumption could be on the money for one and completely miss the target for the next. I don't know enough about the individuals to judge and I wonder which camp the shooters would have fallen into before the shootings.

No its not an excuse scientific or otherwise , its just trying to understand how things can get to a point where a man gets shot resting on a track or another shoots his own son. If we don't understand it then we cant prevent it.
