When people get killed at work, just because they ignored some
fundamental professional rules, their death is called accidental.  Some
even try to get consolation saying that the died doing what they loved
best.  The truth is that they died, because they were incompetent in
doing "what they loved best".

Some time ago, a surgeon died from AIDS, which she contracted by
cutting herself during an operation.  She was hailed as highly
qualified surgeon.  Come on, if she could not avoid cutting herself,
clearly she did a lot of wrong cuts on patients as well.

A university professor from Ottawa died trying to climb Everest.  He
was 65 and he had a doctorate degree.  Guess, what was his specialty?
He was specializing in the response of older people to high altitudes.
if his death is not a proof of his incompetence, what is?

Four boy scout leaders got killed by electrocution, when they tried to
set up a tent under a high voltage power line.  If you saw the picture,
it was a very tall tent, with its pole touching the power line.  What
kind of an idiot would decide even to stay for 5 minutes under a power
line, let alone to set up a tall tent?  Boy scout leader is supposed to
be a person highly qualified in surviving skills.  Keeping a good
distance from power lines should be one of the most fundamental.  Again
we hear that this was an accident and that they died doing what they
loved best.  They should have been fired long time ago.  If they were
fired, some children would have been alive now.
