happy hr, that gave me a good laugh!

I think when people are at the top of their game (in any profession), they are of course doing everything in their control to avoid a mistake; that said, as Happy pointed out, there are always factors that are out of our control...

Maybe this guy is at the top of his game & maybe he isnt, but I do think one of the hallmarks of professionalism is shown in how one handles things after theyve gone awry, and it seems like he handled it the right way by going around for a do-over.
