Why didn't I do this thing or why didn't I see that? Oh my gosh, how could I have left that there?

And that's sort of a default programming that actually doesn't really work. That the learning doesn't come from the self chastising and the ruminating and the attacking. The learning actually comes immediately from the consequence of the experience.
