There may be a more scholarly way to say this but it is true that when things are working practically problem-free we tend to be less vigilant. We are so enthralled by the positive results that we think any errors or omissions that exist are immaterial.

No where is this more true than in the fields of scientific enquiry. We are so busy using our experimental research trying to figure what what we can get nature to say that we have overlooked the need to listen for what nature is saying to us.
