I'm only a regular so far, but my theory is that seniors don't have that much more knowledge or skill - they're just much more comfortable in putting out fires and don't get as stressed when they don't know what to do. I aspire to become as hardened as that some day haha
It’s all about being comfortable with not knowing when you need to act. Believing that you can learn everything upfront is pure hubris, and once you hurt yourself enough times, you just drop the pretense.
In other words, life is Bayesian, not frequentist.
