It's not "comparing" that's the problem.
What should be taken that "failure" shouldn't be the default "go to" method to learn. It's the most expensive way to learn.
Assessed risk is the term. Can you constantly afford to throw away resources? Too many mistakes on the register would mean someone has to pay for the losses (usually out of the employee's check).
If you make a sound judgement and something did go wrong. The reason why you went through with it was because you could afford the risk and you were willing to learn from it.

So again, are you comparing a cash register job to a fucking doctor? Obviously there is little room for error with the doctor, that's why you went to school to learn about the thousands of mistakes that were made in the past.
Why the hell would anyone listen to someone saying "Be scared to make mistakes or it will cost you". That is literally the most DE-motivating thing I've heard, hands down.
