Because it's about other people... it gives others more to lose, not ones-self.

Perhaps it could be better framed as "get somebody else to review your code"

The difference is more of a technicality, I admit. Good post, thanks. I like Taleb, and googling this combination of thoughts is what brought me to this blog.

but it can be interpreted like this for sure
