Re: the practice, it seems the crucial question is to identify how you could have noticed your ignorance ahead of time - and thus, what to be paying attention to now.
Of course I’m always struck by how we can even be wrong in this retrospective analysis. “If only I had cooked the fish properly!” the host might say. But in reality, it might have been the provenance of the fish, not its cooking, that led to the poisoning.
This is 100% on the mark. I have a repentance practice I guide people through and part of it is identifying the mistake/sin. It is surprising how people who haven't practiced this take a long time and meandering to find it (10-45 min.), while practice makes this much quicker (2-15 min.)
And ofc, there's still no guarantee and what feels like the point of error might be off.
