Question: What does \"There must be foolproof measures against mistakes\" mean?
Poka-yoke (Japanese: ポカヨケ; \"Fool-proofing\" is a type of behavioral constraint aimed at prevention and correction; it uses restrictions to avoid errors, enabling the operator to carry out the correct operations without needing to concentrate, nor do they require any experience or specialized knowledge. In industrial design, to prevent machine or personal injury caused by users’ operational mistakes (including unconscious actions, involuntary errors, or careless movements), preventive measures are put in place for such potential scenarios, a concept known as foolproofing.
