      I wouldn’t personally expect that of people. There are a very VERY substantial number of rules in a vast array of disciplines needed to operate a plant generically before even getting into the specifics of the site and all the equipment on it and how that evolves over time as things happen like equipment upgrades or degradation and new operating experience from the same or other plants getting incorporated. Or instructions provided on a case by case basis for performing a task that is now different in some way that matters to one stakeholder who needed a change but that may not be apparent to others. Even people who have been working at the same place for decades with plenty of continuing training can get caught with their pants down on a task they’ve done all the time when a new revision changes something they were accustomed to doing which is why they have to be ensuring that they’re working with the latest revision for each task every time. Often when you’re working with other departments on a common activity you may need help finding out what the applicable procedures or or other guidance that you’ll need to be following even are, let already knowing the latest details on what changes have been made to them and why. And in recent times the industry has a lot less gray and bald heads than it used to so many more people are freshly learning what their own positions are and don’t have the experience and perspective of watching the place evolve over the decades.
