Blue-no1 Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 Every one does not need to launch satellites! I am not supporting error rate of Harper. But there are places/industries where less than 6% would be considered unachievable with today's technology. and elite umpiring at Test level is not one of them. 6% error (whatever madarsa math used by Harper) is not acceptable in this profession that offers ton of money. This 6% failure is OK attitude leads to Sab chalta hai/kam chalau attitude lot of people have.

I am saying comparison with medical field - does not make sense.
Vijay.Sharma Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 Why? Only people belonging to certain professions are supposed to be experts. People having other professions do not have that responsibility? They can make any mistakes. How about an engineer designing a bridge' date=' road etc. It is OK to have 6% or more failure rate?[/quote']Akshay has answered your question well enough. To add to his point, let me give you a simple example based on a management thingy. I am 6Sigma MBB and when we look at different processes, a world class process usually has 95% accuracy (decision making by the ump is a process for example) which translates to a quality of 99.73% or what we call 3 Sigma process. 6 Sigma translates to 99.9996% within specification limits. But, 6Sigma is considered way way way way too low for devices like CT scanners or Aircraft cockpit Engneering, etc. Those processes operate at around 35 Sigma (and I am not sure how many 9's there would be after the decimal point for 35 sigma). Why such focus on getting right? Because even at 35 Sigma you are left with a chance of loss to life. Why are regular business processes ok to operate at 95% accuracy i.e. 99.73% within spec limits? Because life of a human being is more important than a business process going wrong. If the above cannot convince you that expecting zero defects (which would mean "Infinity Sigma") is not necessary and actually a waste of energy, cost, and time then I am not sure anything else will
