Causes of mistakes are found to have included media misinformation, political manipulation and forecasting error; and major contributions have come from inherited and socially-generated limitations upon our the ability to interpret information and take rational decisions. There are analyses of the contributory causes of a selection of past mistakes, including those responsible for a miscarriage of justice and those leading to the loss of the two space shuttles.
