The point being that you can always find someone smarter then you to review your work, unless you happen to be the 1 smartest person on the planet.

Very true, but 90% of drivers are above average drivers....
As far as checking your work goes (great point), here is an interesting example. If the average factory worker assembling a car is 99% effective (does his job right 99 times out of 100), and it takes 1000 people to put a car together, then there would be 10 problems/car. The industry average is around 1.2 issues/car (last I checked the IQS scores a couple years ago). That either means that everyone is 99.9% effective (some are), or ..... There are people checking their work. Like Joe said a second set of eyes is great!
