The problem is: When thick skulls won't let them in Mistakes cannot teach lessons to thick-skulled brains.
So Mistakes keep coming back, knocking on thick skulls over and over and over again.
While Mistakes are born to be great teachers, over time they tend to develop an uppity attitude and a nasty sense of humour. Even when they've given up on teaching well-concealed brains Mistakes have no desire to stop knocking on the thick skulls that house those brains.
The key foresight point is: We can count on Mistakes to come back over and over again to knock on our skulls if we keep them thick.
The bottom line is: As long as our skulls remain thick we will never have the opportunity to learn the lessons taught by Mistakes.
