Would you be happy with a letter from your bank telling you it had made unspecified errors in handling your account, and had taken steps to correct them?

Or from your doctor, saying she had made unspecified mistakes in handling your child's kidney transplant, but had discussed them with hospital and made sure they were addressed?

Does anyone ever believe this secret self-regulating bullshit, really?
