what the reasoning behind this saying. Is this the basis of the police investigating medical staff or carers, when 3 identical or similar incidents occur under their stewardship.

Enemy action. This saying stems from the intelligence community, I think.

I'm not familiar with the phrase, but I should imagine that when the same error is made more than 2 times, it starts to look suspiciously like that person isn't doing their job correctly and may be taken aside to discuss it.

once is an accident, twice is careless, three times is stupidity?
i have no idea the reason behind it......Maybe you can make any mistake you want one, twice is carless but to make the same mistake three times is a bit daft? As humans shouldn't we be learning from our mistakes?

Three times is a trend. It comes from statistics. You can't draw a decent graph with only two data points on it.

Doesn't sound like an accident or coincidence to me. Something bad is going on!

After all the police and carers aren't in the buisness of sunshine and love.
