True; it's the changes, particularly (obviously?) the subtle ones that get overlooked, that trip people...The aviators and artillerists would certainly agree; us dumb grunts can't read so we tend to ignore checklists -- and books that don't fit in jacket pocket...Obviously not all apply to every situation, but simple checklists help us all stay on track when the optempo of life starts to overwhelm our decision making capacity. On the otherhand, when your "mental position" is being overrun, that is no time to pick up "On War" for little quick guidance....
