1. I’d challenge the premise that human errors are random. There are a ton of patterns that cause accidents including intoxication, low visibility conditions and tiredness. I haven’t done a statistical analysis but I’d hazard a guess that only a minority of human accidents are truly random. 2. Why does the randomness matter if the error rate is lower? Certainly if the errors are predictable, they can be discovered and fixed or avoided?
